I use Postgres. Replicate a subset of your entity data to a datastore that supports aggregations. Assuming your dataset fits in a traditional RDBMS, they’re awesome for aggregations and ad-hoc queries.
The datastore makes an awesome primary datastore because it is zero maintenance and never breaks, but it isn’t the only tool in the toolbox. Use dedicated “slave” indexes for special purposes like fulltext search and aggregation. I use the task queue for replication; whenever an entity changes in a material way, my code transactionally enqueues a sync-task that syncs the relevant state of that entity to the appropriate index. You might be asking yourself why not just use a RDBMS in the first place? It’s a reasonable question, and for many apps it is the right one. But running an RDBMS as a primary store has a cost - you have to be really careful with it. Running a DDL statement that locks up the db is a minor inconvenience when it takes down your reports pages for a half hour; if it takes down your sales flow it’s catastrophic. Personally I like the two-store solution, but I had to build some infrastructure to make the syncing process easier. If your dataset doesn’t fit in an RDBMS or has load requirements that make relational databases untenable, you can still use BigQuery and similar. You can delete/change records by adding new records that “cancel out” the old records. It’s not as pretty as an update but adds up just the same.
