Need to track feature usage for 50k+ users daily (programming.dev)

Hi,

I need to track feature usage for an application so I can do the following:

track feature usage for a user. We have 20+ features and we want to limit feature usage. Think, select count(*) from db where user_id = 1 and feature_id = 1 that have to be calculated on the fly.
must have fast read write ops.
able to do machine learning on data
do I need horizontal scaling?

I've been pointed towards elastic search and wondering if there's better alternatives.

Don’t reinvent the wheel and write this yourself. Have your application write out a log, ingest the log into a tool, and use the tool for your analytics.

Elastic isn’t a bad choice.
