    Hi HN, I'm Paul, the founder of AuditAPI (https://www.auditapi.com). We provide an API that lets developers quickly enable audit logging within their apps.

    At previous gigs, I've had to either implement audit logging from scratch or integrate my service with preexisting internal solutions. Typically, a table within the primary DB would be used (leading to space issues), search would be slow or non-existent (can't search - won't use), or there would be little to no documentation on how to best utilize the tooling.

    Despite these shortfalls, I saw the benefits of having audit logging in place. Customers could keep an eye on the activity occurring within their account, customer support could root-cause customer issues quicker, and product/engineering teams could gauge feature adoption.

    I built AuditAPI to scratch my own itch — to simplify the process of both storing and retrieving audit events.

    I'd love to get your feedback, answer any questions, and hear your ideas. Thanks for your time!
