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 it to BigQuery. Reasoning: - **Purpose fit.** A nightly rollup produces aggregated, read-mostly data for reporting and analysis. That's exactly what an analytics warehouse is optimized for (columnar storage, cheap large scans, easy joins across historical data). - **Keep load off production.** Writing large batch aggregates into PostgreSQL competes with live transactional traffic for I/O, locks, cache, and vacuum overhead. Reads of those rollups by dashboards/analysts would add more contention. - **Data gravity.** If the source rows for the rollup already live in BigQuery, computing and storing results there avoids moving data back and forth. - **History and schema churn.** Rollup tables tend to grow indefinitely and change shape as metrics evolve; BigQuery handles that (partitioning, wide tables, schema evolution) more gracefully than a production OLTP schema. Write back to PostgreSQL only if the aggregates are needed synchronously by the application itself (e.g. a feature that serves per-user counts in the request path). In that case, compute in BigQuery and sync just the small serving-shaped result set into a dedicated Postgres table.

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.
