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, the analytics warehouse. Reasoning: - **Purpose fit** – Rollup aggregates exist to serve analytics, dashboards, and reporting queries. That's exactly what a columnar warehouse like BigQuery is optimized for (large scans, GROUP BY over big ranges, cheap wide aggregations). - **Protect production** – Writing large batch aggregates into PostgreSQL adds write load, table bloat/vacuum pressure, and storage growth to the system serving live user traffic. Keep the OLTP database lean and focused on transactional work. - **Source data locality** – If the rollup reads from raw event data that already lands in BigQuery, computing and writing there avoids moving data across systems and keeps the whole pipeline in one place. - **Isolation of failure** – A slow or broken nightly job shouldn't be able to degrade production database performance. Exceptions where you'd write (a copy) back to PostgreSQL: - The application itself needs to read these aggregates in low-latency, per-request paths (e.g., showing a user their monthly totals). In that case, compute in BigQuery and sync a small, well-defined result set into a dedicated Postgres table (or a cache like Redis) — don't make Postgres the primary store. - Compliance/data-residency constraints that keep certain data out of BigQuery. Default: BigQuery is the target; only push a curated subset to Postgres if a live application feature requires it.

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.
