Requirements

The addition of support for multiple exporters increases the efficiency of the data export feature.

Some of the benefits include:

• Redundancy and Reliability:
  • Backup: If one exporter fails (e.g., an HTTP endpoint is down), having another exporter (e.g., a file exporter) ensures that the data is still captured.
• Different Use Cases:
  • Auditing: There may be a need to export data to secure, immutable storage for audit purposes.
  • Monitoring: Simultaneously, we might want to send data to a monitoring system, such as a logging service, for real-time analysis.
  • Analytics: Exporting data to an analytics platform can help in understanding user behavior and feature adoption.
• Separation of Concerns:
  • Security: Sensitive data might be exported to a secure location, while less sensitive data can be sent to a more accessible endpoint.
  • Performance: Exporting to a local file might be faster and less resource-intensive, while exporting to a remote server might be more useful for centralized data collection.
