Other terms from the same lesson
- metric spec: A metric written down before it's computed: its numerator, denominator, what's left out and its unit.
- rollup table: A table of precomputed summaries, such as one row of metrics per day, rebuilt by a scheduled job so dashboards don't scan raw events.
- upsert: An insert that updates the existing row when the key is already there, such as SQLite's INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE, so rerunning it never adds a duplicate.
