Feature and its Use Cases

Problem

Currently, there is no centralized way to track important backend events such as room creation, user joining, or room deletion. This makes it difficult to monitor system behavior, debug issues, or build analytics features in the future.

Proposed Solution

Introduce a new backend function track-activity to capture and log key user and room-related events in a structured format.

The function will:

  • Accept event data such as eventType, userId, and optional metadata
  • Log activity in a consistent structure
  • Return standardized API responses

Additionally, integrate this tracking into existing functions:

  • create-room
  • join-room
  • delete-room

Benefits

  • Improves observability of backend operations
  • Enables future analytics and monitoring
  • Lays the foundation for an event-driven architecture
  • Helps in debugging and auditing system actions

Additional Context

What Needs to Be Done

  • Create a new backend function track-activity
  • Implement safe request parsing using parseBody
  • Validate required fields (eventType, userId) using throwIfMissing
  • Add structured logging for activity events
  • Standardize API response format (success, message, data)
  • Integrate activity tracking into:
    • create-room (ROOM_CREATED)
    • join-room (USER_JOINED)
    • delete-room (ROOM_DELETED)

Code of Conduct

  • I have joined the Discord server and will post updates there
  • I have searched existing issues to avoid duplicates
