Store action data in persistent store #3

Closed pghosh closed 7 years ago

pghosh commented 7 years ago

This task is to identify a simple backend solution and define structure to store the actions

Is this a duplicate of #13 ?

pghosh commented 7 years ago

This one is to identify the backend we want to use. Like if it is mongo vs dynamo or something. Juts had a quick investigate pro/cons kind

sgreene commented 7 years ago

I see. In one of the posts on slack I saw that dynamo was the chosen db. Great db but one huge con imo is that it requires an AWS account to actually use. There is a downloadable version, but it still requires an AWS account to use I think.

there is another issue that we can't change indexes on fly. I am leaning towards mongo but this will be a good place to things about pros and cons!
