To add all project events to the system storage for analytics and aggregation purposes, you can implement a centralized event bus or use ready-made solutions such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or Google Pub/Sub. In Go, you can create a layer that publishes events to this broker.
Main steps:
- Define the event format (e.g., JSON with fields: event type, time, data).
- Publish events to a queue or topic at the event generation points.
- Create a separate service or component that subscribes to these events and stores them in storage (e.g., ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, TimescaleDB).
Example of publishing an event to Kafka in Go:
import (
"github.com/segmentio/kafka-go"
"context"
"encoding/json"
"time"
)
type Event struct {
Type string `json:"type"`
Timestamp time.Time `json:"timestamp"`
Payload interface{} `json:"payload"`
}
func publishEvent(writer *kafka.Writer, event Event) error {
data, err := json.Marshal(event)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return writer.WriteMessages(context.Background(),
kafka.Message{
Key: []byte(event.Type),
Value: data,
},
)
}
Thus, you centralize event collection, which simplifies subsequent analytics and aggregation.
