Common: for discussion: turn ecommerce transactions into one event #228

Open chuwy opened 4 years ago

chuwy commented 4 years ago

Currently, tracking an ecommerce transaction is transmitted, ETLed and stored as multiple events:

1 event for the transaction itself
1 event for each transaction item

In an Avro world, it might be cleaner just to send one event, which is a fatter envelope containing the transaction plus transaction items.

This would be dependent on:

Using Avro
The hub-and-spoke architecture in Redshift (events -> transactions -> transaction_items)
Add support for sending event as multiple GETs #20
Coming up with a way of expressing N transaction items within the tracker protocol (maybe moving to a full-JSON envelope)
