Any idea on how many tables would be impacted by a decision for us to add the user ID directly into the tables (as opposed to relying on events)?
Since we already have a domain_id and an account_id in certain tables, it might be better from a consistency standpoint to just add user_id to those tables, as well (I know it is a bit de-normalized that way, but we already have that situation with having both domain_id and account_id in these tables).
