Offering implementation guidance

Open janedotx opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As more and more agencies seek to implement MDS, they could use some guidance on possible pitfalls and pros and cons of various possible implementations.

Examples:

  • What should agencies do if they are sent multiple events with the same device_id and timestamp? Keep the first duplicate or the last one?
  • How should agencies compute compliance with their policies? On a snapshot basis, which is easier to implement, but runs the risk of not capturing every event, or on a streaming basis, which would be accurate, but possibly quite computationally expensive and difficult to set up?

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like it if maintainers could start enhancing the READMEs for each MDS service with an implementation guidance section.
