monitoring UI users activity real time

Question

Hi team,

I would like to implement **real-time user activity monitoring** for our front-end application, to track all user's activities and show it to a **real-time dashboard**.

while searching I saw a lot of services like: kinesis stream, cloud watch RUM, OpenSearch,.....

would like what is the best **architecture** implementation for my use case: services to use and architecture to put in place.

appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Answer

Assuming that you would like to explore AWS native solutions, one could be that uses beacon web servers to log requests from a user’s web browser, Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to capture website clickstream data, Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics to compute metrics in real-time, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon DynamoDB to durably store metric data. It also features a dashboard that visualizes your account activity in real-time. The below reference presents the architecture you can build using the example code on GitHub.

* https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/real-time-web-analytics-with-kinesis/
* https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/real-time-web-analytics-with-kinesis/architecture.html

The example of sending to beacon server is here - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/real-time-web-analytics-with-kinesis/components.html

There is a blog which may help - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/how-baqend-built-a-real-time-web-analytics-platform-using-amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-for-apache-flink/

Now depending on the needs , you can also push data to OpenSearch for dashboarding purpose.
