Experience
Status DB Service
Status DB can store only the current status value and status value change history. Generally, the status is (namespace, key, value, last changed) a tuple. The same values can be sent to Status DB multiple times, and only the last modified field will be updated. If the status is changed, the Status DB Service creates a history record and adds a notification message to the queue.
