Its time to replace my 24" wall hung home assistant dashboard on the side of my fridge. The screen used a few magnets and a LCD screen cable extender between the motherboard and the screen panel. I placed the screen driver motherboard on top of the fridge and this is where the HDMI and the power cables connected.

The only thing I was missing from this setup was the touch. I even had guests coming up and touching the screen hoping something would happen.

Nothing would happen, I knew it ahead of time but I let them try.

After an exhausting search I stumbled upon ONE viable Aliexpress option. The best screen I could source was the following usb-c 18.5" IPS portable panel which could be also used for travelling abroad as an additional screen for work.

Managing the authentication/access platform for all of Scandinavia (🇸🇪🇩🇰🇫🇮🇳🇴) customers, we have the duty of managing the security and auditing of every action that happens within our platform.

We average 12 million log events a day, the data is simple in nature (few key values, 400 characters) but there is a lot of it. Thankfully no trees are harmed in the process of saving our audits. At least not directly.

Originally we were using DynamoDB with its "consistent single-digit ms response time". While at the time we implemented this solution, it was fast. It was just as expensive once we accumulated a few years worth of data.

This is the story how we managed to migrate away from DynamoDB our audit table while managing to:
- reduce the money churn
- keep the simplicity of our data access
- have relatively fast access

Spoiler alert, its Parquet with S3 and Athena.
