Summary

We used DynamoDB Streams to capture and process updates in user objects, allowing us to visualize changes in frequently updated objects. By leveraging existing technologies like AWS Lambda and DynamoDB's built-in TTL functionality, we were able to build a serverless solution that automates repetitive tasks and provides valuable insights into historical user states. This enables our Customer Support team to self-serve when digging into the past state of a user object, reducing manual work and minimizing mistakes. The system is designed to be simple, elegant, and scalable, with a focus on leveraging common technologies to achieve its goals.
