+# ClickHouse Analytics Patterns
+
+ClickHouse-specific patterns for high-performance analytics and data engineering.
+
+## When to Activate
+
+- Designing ClickHouse table schemas (MergeTree engine selection)
+- Writing analytical queries (aggregations, window functions, joins)
+- Optimizing query performance (partition pruning, projections, materialized views)
+- Ingesting large volumes of data (batch inserts, Kafka integration)
+- Migrating from PostgreSQL/MySQL to ClickHouse for analytics
+- Implementing real-time dashboards or time-series analytics
+
+## Overview
+
+ClickHouse is a column-oriented database management system (DBMS) for online analytical processing (OLAP). It's optimized for fast analytical queries on large datasets.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Column-oriented storage
+- Data compression
+- Parallel query execution
+- Distributed queries
+- Real-time analytics
+
+## Table Design Patterns
+
+### MergeTree Engine (Most Common)
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE markets_analytics (
+    date Date,
+    market_id String,
+    market_name String,
+    volume UInt64,
+    trades UInt32,
+    unique_traders UInt32,
+    avg_trade_size Float64,
+    created_at DateTime
+) ENGINE = MergeTree()
+PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(date)
+ORDER BY (date, market_id)
+SETTINGS index_granularity = 8192;
+```
+
+### ReplacingMergeTree (Deduplication)
+
+```sql
+-- For data that may have duplicates (e.g., from multiple sources)
+CREATE TABLE user_events (
+    event_id String,
+    user_id String,
+    event_type String,
+    timestamp DateTime,
+    properties String
+) ENGINE = ReplacingMergeTree()
+PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(timestamp)
+ORDER BY (user_id, event_id, timestamp)
+PRIMARY KEY (user_id, event_id);
+```
+
+### AggregatingMergeTree (Pre-aggregation)
+
+```sql
+-- For maintaining aggregated metrics
+CREATE TABLE market_stats_hourly (
+    hour DateTime,
+    market_id String,
+    total_volume AggregateFunction(sum, UInt64),
+    total_trades AggregateFunction(count, UInt32),
+    unique_users AggregateFunction(uniq, String)
+) ENGINE = AggregatingMergeTree()
+PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(hour)
+ORDER BY (hour, market_id);
+
+-- Query aggregated data
+SELECT
+    hour,
+    market_id,
+    sumMerge(total_volume) AS volume,
+    countMerge(total_trades) AS trades,
+    uniqMerge(unique_users) AS users
+FROM market_stats_hourly
+WHERE hour >= toStartOfHour(now() - INTERVAL 24 HOUR)
+GROUP BY hour, market_id
+ORDER BY hour DESC;
+```
+
+## Query Optimization Patterns
+
+### Efficient Filtering
+
+```sql
+-- ✅ GOOD: Use indexed columns first
+SELECT *
+FROM markets_analytics
+WHERE date >= '2025-01-01'
+  AND market_id = 'market-123'
+  AND volume > 1000
+ORDER BY date DESC
+LIMIT 100;
+
+-- ❌ BAD: Filter on non-indexed columns first
+SELECT *
+FROM markets_analytics
+WHERE volume > 1000
+  AND market_name LIKE '%election%'
+  AND date >= '2025-01-01';
+```
+
+### Aggregations
+
+```sql
+-- ✅ GOOD: Use ClickHouse-specific aggregation functions
+SELECT
+    toStartOfDay(created_at) AS day,
+    market_id,
+    sum(volume) AS total_volume,
+    count() AS total_trades,
+    uniq(trader_id) AS unique_traders,
+    avg(trade_size) AS avg_size
+FROM trades
+WHERE created_at >= today() - INTERVAL 7 DAY
+GROUP BY day, market_id
+ORDER BY day DESC, total_volume DESC;
+
+-- ✅ Use quantile for percentiles (more efficient than percentile)
+SELECT
+    quantile(0.50)(trade_size) AS median,
+    quantile(0.95)(trade_size) AS p95,
+    quantile(0.99)(trade_size) AS p99
+FROM trades
+WHERE created_at >= now() - INTERVAL 1 HOUR;
+```
+
+### Window Functions
+
+```sql
+-- Calculate running totals
+SELECT
+    date,
+    market_id,
+    volume,
+    sum(volume) OVER (
+        PARTITION BY market_id
+        ORDER BY date
+        ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW
+    ) AS cumulative_volume
+FROM markets_analytics
+WHERE date >= today() - INTERVAL 30 DAY
+ORDER BY market_id, date;
+```
+
+## Data Insertion Patterns
+
+### Bulk Insert (Recommended)
+
+```typescript
+import { ClickHouse } from 'clickhouse'
+
+const clickhouse = new ClickHouse({
+  url: process.env.CLICKHOUSE_URL,
+  port: 8123,
+  basicAuth: {
+    username: process.env.CLICKHOUSE_USER,
+    password: process.env.CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD
+  }
+})
+
+// ✅ Batch insert (efficient)
+async function bulkInsertTrades(trades: Trade[]) {
+  const values = trades.map(trade => `(
+    '${trade.id}',
+    '${trade.market_id}',
+    '${trade.user_id}',
+    ${trade.amount},
+    '${trade.timestamp.toISOString()}'
+  )`).join(',')
+
+  await clickhouse.query(`
+    INSERT INTO trades (id, market_id, user_id, amount, timestamp)
+    VALUES ${values}
+  `).toPromise()
+}
+
+// ❌ Individual inserts (slow)
+async function insertTrade(trade: Trade) {
+  // Don't do this in a loop!
+  await clickhouse.query(`
+    INSERT INTO trades VALUES ('${trade.id}', ...)
+  `).toPromise()
+}
+```
+
+### Streaming Insert
+
+```typescript
+// For continuous data ingestion
+import { createWriteStream } from 'fs'
+import { pipeline } from 'stream/promises'
+
+async function streamInserts() {
+  const stream = clickhouse.insert('trades').stream()
+
+  for await (const batch of dataSource) {
+    stream.write(batch)
+  }
+
+  await stream.end()
+}
+```
+
+## Materialized Views
+
+### Real-time Aggregations
+
+```sql
+-- Create materialized view for hourly stats
+CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW market_stats_hourly_mv
+TO market_stats_hourly
+AS SELECT
+    toStartOfHour(timestamp) AS hour,
+    market_id,
+    sumState(amount) AS total_volume,
+    countState() AS total_trades,
+    uniqState(user_id) AS unique_users
+FROM trades
+GROUP BY hour, market_id;
+
+-- Query the materialized view
+SELECT
+    hour,
+    market_id,
+    sumMerge(total_volume) AS volume,
+    countMerge(total_trades) AS trades,
+    uniqMerge(unique_users) AS users
+FROM market_stats_hourly
+WHERE hour >= now() - INTERVAL 24 HOUR
+GROUP BY hour, market_id;
+```
+
+## Performance Monitoring
+
+### Query Performance
+
+```sql
+-- Check slow queries
+SELECT
+    query_id,
+    user,
+    query,
+    query_duration_ms,
+    read_rows,
+    read_bytes,
+    memory_usage
+FROM system.query_log
+WHERE type = 'QueryFinish'
+  AND query_duration_ms > 1000
+  AND event_time >= now() - INTERVAL 1 HOUR
+ORDER BY query_duration_ms DESC
+LIMIT 10;
+```
+
+### Table Statistics
+
+```sql
+-- Check table sizes
+SELECT
+    database,
+    table,
+    formatReadableSize(sum(bytes)) AS size,
+    sum(rows) AS rows,
+    max(modification_time) AS latest_modification
+FROM system.parts
+WHERE active
+GROUP BY database, table
+ORDER BY sum(bytes) DESC;
+```
+
+## Common Analytics Queries
+
+### Time Series Analysis
+
+```sql
+-- Daily active users
+SELECT
+    toDate(timestamp) AS date,
+    uniq(user_id) AS daily_active_users
+FROM events
+WHERE timestamp >= today() - INTERVAL 30 DAY
+GROUP BY date
+ORDER BY date;
+
+-- Retention analysis
+SELECT
+    signup_date,
+    countIf(days_since_signup = 0) AS day_0,
+    countIf(days_since_signup = 1) AS day_1,
+    countIf(days_since_signup = 7) AS day_7,
+    countIf(days_since_signup = 30) AS day_30
+FROM (
+    SELECT
+        user_id,
+        min(toDate(timestamp)) AS signup_date,
+        toDate(timestamp) AS activity_date,
+        dateDiff('day', signup_date, activity_date) AS days_since_signup
+    FROM events
+    GROUP BY user_id, activity_date
+)
+GROUP BY signup_date
+ORDER BY signup_date DESC;
+```
+
+### Funnel Analysis
+
+```sql
+-- Conversion funnel
+SELECT
+    countIf(step = 'viewed_market') AS viewed,
+    countIf(step = 'clicked_trade') AS clicked,
+    countIf(step = 'completed_trade') AS completed,
+    round(clicked / viewed * 100, 2) AS view_to_click_rate,
+    round(completed / clicked * 100, 2) AS click_to_completion_rate
+FROM (
+    SELECT
+        user_id,
+        session_id,
+        event_type AS step
+    FROM events
+    WHERE event_date = today()
+)
+GROUP BY session_id;
+```
+
+### Cohort Analysis
+
+```sql
+-- User cohorts by signup month
+SELECT
+    toStartOfMonth(signup_date) AS cohort,
+    toStartOfMonth(activity_date) AS month,
+    dateDiff('month', cohort, month) AS months_since_signup,
+    count(DISTINCT user_id) AS active_users
+FROM (
+    SELECT
+        user_id,
+        min(toDate(timestamp)) OVER (PARTITION BY user_id) AS signup_date,
+        toDate(timestamp) AS activity_date
+    FROM events
+)
+GROUP BY cohort, month, months_since_signup
+ORDER BY cohort, months_since_signup;
+```
+
+## Data Pipeline Patterns
+
+### ETL Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// Extract, Transform, Load
+async function etlPipeline() {
+  // 1. Extract from source
+  const rawData = await extractFromPostgres()
+
+  // 2. Transform
+  const transformed = rawData.map(row => ({
+    date: new Date(row.created_at).toISOString().split('T')[0],
+    market_id: row.market_slug,
+    volume: parseFloat(row.total_volume),
+    trades: parseInt(row.trade_count)
+  }))
+
+  // 3. Load to ClickHouse
+  await bulkInsertToClickHouse(transformed)
+}
+
+// Run periodically
+setInterval(etlPipeline, 60 * 60 * 1000)  // Every hour
+```
+
+### Change Data Capture (CDC)
+
+```typescript
+// Listen to PostgreSQL changes and sync to ClickHouse
+import { Client } from 'pg'
+
+const pgClient = new Client({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
+
+pgClient.query('LISTEN market_updates')
+
+pgClient.on('notification', async (msg) => {
+  const update = JSON.parse(msg.payload)
+
+  await clickhouse.insert('market_updates', [
+    {
+      market_id: update.id,
+      event_type: update.operation,  // INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
+      timestamp: new Date(),
+      data: JSON.stringify(update.new_data)
+    }
+  ])
+})
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Partitioning Strategy
+- Partition by time (usually month or day)
+- Avoid too many partitions (performance impact)
+- Use DATE type for partition key
+
+### 2. Ordering Key
+- Put most frequently filtered columns first
+- Consider cardinality (high cardinality first)
+- Order impacts compression
+
+### 3. Data Types
+- Use smallest appropriate type (UInt32 vs UInt64)
+- Use LowCardinality for repeated strings
+- Use Enum for categorical data
+
+### 4. Avoid
+- SELECT * (specify columns)
+- FINAL (merge data before query instead)
+- Too many JOINs (denormalize for analytics)
+- Small frequent inserts (batch instead)
+
+### 5. Monitoring
+- Track query performance
+- Monitor disk usage
+- Check merge operations
+- Review slow query log
+
+**Remember**: ClickHouse excels at analytical workloads. Design tables for your query patterns, batch inserts, and leverage materialized views for real-time aggregations.

+name: code-simplification
+description: Simplifies working code without changing behavior. Use when code is harder to read, maintain, or review than it should be, especially after a feature is already working.
+origin: ECC
+---
+
+# Code Simplification
+
+## Overview
+
+Simplify code after it works.
+The goal is not fewer lines. The goal is lower complexity, clearer intent, safer change review, and easier maintenance without changing behavior.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- a feature works but the implementation feels heavier than necessary
+- review feedback points to confusing control flow, duplication, or naming
+- a hotfix or rushed implementation needs cleanup after the behavior is stable
+- multiple helpers or branches now express the same idea in slightly different ways
+
+**When NOT to use**
+
+- the current behavior is not yet understood or protected
+- there is no reliable safety net for the touched behavior
+- the work is really a redesign or rewrite rather than simplification
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Freeze the behavior surface.
+   Confirm what must stay exactly the same: tests, runtime behavior, error semantics, side effects, and ordering.
+   If the behavior is not clear, stop and add the smallest safety net first.
+2. Identify the highest-leverage simplification.
+   Prefer:
+   - flattening nested control flow
+   - removing duplication
+   - improving names
+   - shrinking long functions
+   - collapsing scattered logic into one obvious boundary
+3. Check the fence before removing structure.
+   Apply Chesterton's Fence: understand why complexity exists before deleting it.
+   If a branch, helper, or guard exists for a reason you cannot explain, investigate first.
+4. Simplify one move at a time.
+   Make one readable change, rerun the smallest relevant checks, then continue.
+   Do not stack multiple conceptual refactors into one unverified jump.
+5. Keep the external contract stable.
+   Preserve API shape, user-visible behavior, logs that operators depend on, and failure modes unless a separate change explicitly approves that behavior change.
+6. Record what became simpler.
+   Name what got easier to understand and what was intentionally left alone.
+
+## Common Rationalizations
+
+| Rationalization | Reality |
+|---|---|
+| "It works, so the messy shape is fine." | Working code still carries long-term maintenance cost. |
+| "I'll just rewrite the whole thing cleanly." | Big rewrites increase regression risk and hide the value of each simplification. |
+| "This helper is ugly, but I don't know why it's there." | Unknown intent is a reason to pause, not delete. |
+| "Reviewers can mentally simplify it." | If reviewers must mentally rewrite the code, the code is still too complex. |
+
+## Red Flags
+
+- a simplification changes behavior and readability at the same time
+- multiple abstractions are introduced while claiming to reduce complexity
+- the diff deletes complexity but also deletes important guards
+- no before/after reasoning is given for why the code is actually simpler
+
+## Verification
+
+After simplifying, confirm:
+
+- [ ] the behavior surface stayed unchanged
+- [ ] the smallest relevant tests or checks still pass
+- [ ] complexity actually decreased in a way a reviewer can explain quickly
+- [ ] removed code was understood before deletion
+- [ ] the final diff is easier to review than the original shape
