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?
BigQuery, your analytics warehouse. Reasoning: - **Purpose fit** – Aggregated rollups are analytical artifacts consumed by dashboards, reports, and ad‑hoc queries. That's exactly what a warehouse is for. Postgres is optimized for transactional, low‑latency application reads/writes. - **Load isolation** – Writing large batch aggregations into your production OLTP database competes with live traffic for I/O, cache, locks, and vacuum. Keeping it in BigQuery protects production performance. - **Query pattern** – Rollups are usually scanned/sliced over wide ranges. BigQuery's columnar storage and MPP engine handle that far better than row‑oriented Postgres. - **Source of truth** – The rollup's inputs presumably already land in BigQuery, so keeping the output there avoids a round‑trip and keeps lineage in one place. Write back to Postgres only if the aggregates directly serve an application feature that needs single‑digit‑millisecond lookups by key (e.g. a "your stats" widget). In that case, compute in BigQuery and sync just the small serving slice into Postgres (or a cache like Redis).

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.
