title: Laravel Auditing (Eloquent Events or Alternatives)
body: <p>I am hoping that someone would be able to give me some advice or direction.</p>
  
  <p>I have multiple tables, these tables have created_by and updated_by columns.
  I use these fields to determine who created the record and also who modified it last. ( Just a quick and simple method to audit changes).</p>
  
  <p>I have 2 questions if I may:
  1. Is this a good way to do auditing (keeping track of the creator / modifier)?
  2. What is the best way to update these fields. Do I make use of Eloquent events or is there a better alternative? Any pointers would be awesome.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
