Efficient Progress Aggregation in a Deeply Nested Task Hierarchy with Real-Time Sync (PostgreSQL + PowerSync) I’m developing a task management application with a deeply nested task hierarchy (mother-child tasks). Each task has the following structure (PostgreSQL schema): sql id UUID PRIMARY KEY, creator_id UUID, task TEXT, is_done BOOLEAN, mother_task UUID REFERENCES tasks(id), estimated_progress_duration_in_seconds INTEGER, current_progress_duration INTEGER 📂 Example Task Hierarchy - x project (100h) - website (5h) - design (1h) - code (3h) - home (30m) - side menu (10m) - center screen (20m) - deploy (1h) 🧩 The Problem Let’s say I work on a leaf task like “side menu” and update its current_progress_duration every few seconds. Should I immediately propagate this progress update to all parent tasks (e.g., home → code → website → x project)? This may result in 5–10 write operations per update, which can lead to performance issues — both in terms of local disk IO and syncing overhead (see next section). ⸻ ⚙️ Context • I’m using PowerSync, which keeps a local client-side database in sync with the server-side PostgreSQL DB. • The client app handles most of the logic locally, and all local writes are synced automatically to the server via PowerSync. • Frequent updates to nested tasks may cause excessive writes and degrade performance, especially when propagating changes upward in the hierarchy. ⸻ 🧠 Design Alternatives I’ve Considered • Eager Propagation: Immediately update all parent tasks up the chain on every child progress update. • Lazy Aggregation: Only compute and propagate totals on-demand (e.g., when rendering UI or fetching aggregate data). • Partial Propagation: Only update the immediate parent and optionally batch or throttle updates to higher-level tasks. • Selective Caching: Cache progress only for the currently visible or expanded branches of the task tree. • Triggers or Recursive CTEs: Use SQL-side recursive logic to compute aggregate durations only when queried. • Hierarchy Flattening: Maintain a materialized path or denormalized ancestry column to simplify recursive operations. ⸻ ❓ My Question What are the best architectural patterns or strategies to manage progress aggregation efficiently in a deeply nested task hierarchy, especially in a real-time syncing setup like PowerSync? Any architectural tips, data modeling suggestions, or real-world experiences are welcome!
