When considering social web app architecture, is it a better approach to document user social patterns in a database or in logs? I thought for sure that behavior, actions, events would be strictly database stored but I noticed that some of the larger social sites out there also track a lot by logging what happens.
Is it good practice to store prominent data about users in a database and since thousands of user actions can be spawned easily, should they be simply logged?
