Aggregation

Rolling raw events into summaries. Fast, but only answers questions you asked in advance, which is why Countly keeps the raw events too.

Pre-aggregating is what makes traditional analytics fast and inflexible at the same time. The rollup answers today’s question in milliseconds and next month’s question not at all. Countly keeps raw events so a new breakdown is a query rather than a re-instrumentation project, and aggregates on read instead of on write.
