The Piinguin project and the associate snowplow-piinguin-relay projects are meant to provide a way to handle PII in the Snowplow ecosystem. Recently in snowplow/snowplow we have added capabilities to pseudonymize PII fields. In addition there is a configurable way to emit those pseudonymous fields using the Snowplow EnrichEvent format to a specialized pii stream. These two projects are meant to act as a way to store and control access to the pii re-identification values. The relay project will run in AWS Lambda and forward all messages to the current project. The current project will store them and provide a controlled way to access them, which will require, in addition to the key sought, the justification with which reading PII is sought (e.g. LawfulBasisForProcessing.CONSENT) following the GDPR nomenclature.

This project is using GRPC.

It consists of four submodules: protocols, client, server and e2e

Protocols (in 0-protocols) contains the GRPC proto file and that is where the corresponding Scala files are generated.

Client (in 1-clients) contains an example client in Scala. It contains Scala Future, FS2 IO and FS2 Streaming IO for the "verbs" supported by the protocol (i.e. create, read, delete). Create will update any existing fields that have the same key at the moment, although an alternative behavior is considered (adding a list of values corresponding to that key). The FS2 streaming IO is highly experimental and more than likely will change significantly in subsequent versions as we learn more about the right way to implement it. This client is currently used in the associated snowplow-piinguin-relay project.

Server (in 2-servers) contains the server implementation, which uses the scanamo library to read and write to AWS DynamoDB.

E2E (in e2e) contains a test that uses the client to talk to the server to read write and read to/from the test DynamoDB instance. That test also requires the 'dev/test environment' to be up.

The easiest way to use the server is to use the docker image from the Snowplow docker repo.

Alternatively see below for an example server run.

You can either use the client library from this project if it suits your needs, or generate your own client code using GRPC and use it. For an example of using the code form this project, see snowplow-piinguin-relay.
