Would love to hear your thoughts.

adithyakon Ask HN: How do you implement audit trail for a product?

At my previous company, we implemented basic audit trails using postgres triggers that recorded the before & after state of a row on upsert / delete. The triggers had to be set individually for each of the tables (same trigger function worked for all), and an added convenience view to see the diff of the changes helped. This worked pretty well us, since we didn't need details of the actor / IP address etc.
