I learned this lesson the hard way when I realized my cloud-based database provider won't give me access to change logs. Ended up building a write queue where updates to be made are put. Now I have one place that captures all changes, so it doesn't matter if the db has change logs, or if the provider gives me access to it. I can set up a domain events system even if the backing store is the file system. Queue changes, publish event after successful change.
