Our production database is PostgreSQL and our analytics warehouse is BigQuery. Which one should the nightly rollup job write its aggregated results to?
Our production database is PostgreSQL and our analytics warehouse is BigQuery. Which one should the nightly rollup job write its aggregated results to?
Write the aggregated results to **BigQuery**. Reasoning: - **Purpose fit.** Rollups are analytical artifacts — pre-aggregated metrics meant for reporting, dashboards, and ad-hoc analysis. That's exactly what the warehouse is for. - **Keep OLTP lean.** Your PostgreSQL production database should stay focused on transactional workloads. Adding aggregate tables invites bloat, extra vacuum pressure, contention, and storage growth that competes with live traffic. - **Query patterns.** BigQuery's columnar, scan-heavy engine is built for aggregation queries over large ranges; Postgres is optimized for selective indexed row lookups. - **Source of truth.** If the rollup reads from raw data that already lands in BigQuery, keeping the pipeline within one system simplifies lineage, backfills, and reprocessing. Exception: if a specific rollup exists to serve the *application itself* in real time (e.g., a user-facing "your stats" widget that needs low-latency point reads), write that particular result back to Postgres — or to a cache/serving store. But the default for a nightly analytics rollup is BigQuery.

The harness runs on every turn. Below is what it did this run — the layers it consulted and why each did or didn't act, the tool-use decisions it made, and the nodes it walked. Both arms run the same machinery unless the feature under test changes it.
