1Enterprise Design Patterns Overview
  • Bucket Pattern: Combines time-series data points into daily/hourly document buckets to reduce index overhead.
  • Outlier Pattern: Prevents rare high-frequency events (e.g., celebrity followers) from overflowing normal document sizes.
  • Computed Pattern: Pre-calculates aggregated summaries during writes instead of calculating on every read.
