Unlike app-level audit logs that miss direct SQL and migrations, or triggers that add write overhead and schema bloat, AuditOwl captures changes straight from PostgreSQL's write-ahead log - the database's own source of truth. Every committed change, from any source, with zero triggers and no app code. Fully managed, keeps OLTP fast via async decoding, stores immutable before/after row history, and gives you a real query interface instead of a log viewer. Complete, non-invasive, query-ready.
Hey PH 👋 I'm Aditya - I build backend systems and I'm a little obsessed with how Postgres works under the hood.
AuditOwl came out of a question I've hit at every job: who changed this row and when? App logs miss direct SQL and migrations, triggers bloat your schema and slow writes, and DIY CDC is a maintenance burden. So AuditOwl reads changes straight from the write-ahead log - every committed change, from any source, with zero triggers or app changes. Managed, immutable, and query-first.
This is an early launch - I'm looking for design partners and honest feedback before opening it up. If you've wrestled with audit logging in Postgres, tell me about your setup, or drop your email and I'll be in touch. 🦉
Finally, audit logs that catch direct SQL and migrations instead of pretending they don't happen. The async WAL decoding keeps writes fast and I can actually query historical rows instead of grepping through log files.
Great idea - congrats on the launch. I have built several viewers for audit history, and it's something that always feels great once done... but is an absolute chore to get in place. Looking forward to giving this a shot!
