Audit stores

The audit store is Flamingock's dedicated system for tracking execution history, preventing duplicate executions, and ensuring safe system evolution.

What is the audit store?

The audit store tracks:

• Execution history: Which Changes ran, when, and with what outcome
• Distributed locking: Prevents concurrent executions across multiple instances
• Issue tracking: Failed or uncertain executions requiring resolution

Unlike target systems (which your code modifies), the audit store is managed automatically by Flamingock and never modified by your Changes.

Conceptual overview: For architectural understanding, see Target systems vs audit store

Cloud audit store

The audit store is automatically provided and managed by Flamingock Cloud. No configuration needed - just focus on your changes while Flamingock handles the audit infrastructure.

Community audit store

Alternatively, you can configure your own audit store using one of the supported databases:

• MongoDB audit store
• DynamoDB audit store
• Couchbase audit store
• SQL audit store(coming next)

Registering the community audit store

Flamingock Builder

Register the audit store with the Flamingock builder:

// Generic example - audit store configuration
public class App {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Create your audit store connection
    var auditStore = new MongoDBSyncAuditStore(mongoClient, mongoDatabase);
    
    // Register with Flamingock
    Flamingock.builder()
      .setAuditStore(auditStore)  // Set the audit store
      .addTargetSystems(myTargetSystem)
      .build()
      .run();
  }
}

Spring Boot

For Spring Boot applications, register target systems as beans:

@Bean
public AuditStore auditStore(MongoClient mongoClient) {
    return new MongoDBSyncAuditStore(mongoClient, "flamingock-audit");
}

// Flamingock Spring Boot auto-configuration will pick this up automatically

Spring Boot's auto-configuration will automatically register these target systems with Flamingock.
