It streams database activity logs in near real-time from Amazon RDS to Kinesis Data Stream, then AWS Lambda pulls data from Kinesis Data Stream and ingest those into Amazon OpenSearch. It is also equipped with feature that could prevents anyone from changing the audit logs policies. By doing so, it gives an unchangeable source of truth.
