# The Count
The Count is a system for collecting data related to events that happen on [The Exchange](https://github.com/PRX/exchange.prx.org). For example, page views, playback of audio, etc.
### action.js
This is deployed as an AWS Lambda function as an endpoint of an API Gateway. Requests are made to that endpoint to record events. For example:
`example.com/action.gif?event=view`
Events are recoded to a Kinesis data stream.
### writer.js
A second Lambda function is triggered by that Kinesis data stream. It reads event data in batches, and writes them out, one event per line, to text files in a file system intended to be processed by [The Castle](https://github.com/PRX/TheCastle).
