Fix inconsistent metric definitions across ClickHouse and Postgres. The same metric (e.g. daily_active_users) is computed differently in each store, causing reporting mismatches.
Our dashboards show different numbers for "daily active users" depending on whether we query Postgres or ClickHouse. The definitions must be inconsistent. Can you fix it so both stores return the same metric values?
Let me explore the codebase to understand the structure and find the relevant code for daily active users metrics.

The exploration found the issue clearly. The ClickHouse `daily_metrics` table uses `count()` instead of `uniqExact(user_id)` for DAU calculation. I need to fix the ClickHouse setup SQL and then re-run the data population. Let me read the ClickHouse setup file first, then fix it.
{"file_path":"/scenario/init/clickhouse-setup.sql"}1 CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS analytics; 2 3 CREATE TABLE analytics.events ( 4 event_ts DateTime, 5 user_id String, 6 event_type String, 7 value Float64 8 ) ENGINE = MergeTree() 9 ORDER BY (event_ts, user_id); 10 11 INSERT INTO analytics.events (event_ts, user_id, eve...
The bug is on line 29: `count()` counts all rows instead of distinct users. I need to fix it to `uniqExact(user_id)` and re-populate the ClickHouse table.
{"replace_all":false,"file_path":"/scenario/init/clickhouse-setup.sql","old_string":"-- Broken: uses count() instead of uniqExact(user_id) for DAU\nCREATE TABLE analytics.daily_metrics (\n day Date,\n dau UInt64,\n revenue Float64\n) ENGINE = SummingMergeTree()\nORDER BY day;\...The file /scenario/init/clickhouse-setup.sql has been updated successfully.
Now fix the live ClickHouse data — drop and repopulate `daily_metrics`:

Now DAU shows 2 for both days (matching the 2 distinct users per day). Let me verify Postgres agrees:
{"command":"psql \"$POSTGRES_URL\" -c \"SELECT date_trunc('day', event_ts)::date AS day, count(DISTINCT user_id) AS dau, sum(value) AS revenue FROM raw.events GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1\"","description":"Verify Postgres DAU values"}day | dau | revenue ------------+-----+--------- 2026-01-15 | 2 | 29.99 2026-01-16 | 2 | 49.99 (2 rows)
Both stores now return identical values. Here's what was wrong and what I fixed: **Root cause:** `/scenario/init/clickhouse-setup.sql` used `count()` to compute DAU, which counted every event row. Postgres used `COUNT(DISTINCT user_id)`, which counts unique users. For 2026-01-15...

Our dashboards show different numbers for "daily active users" depending on whether we query Postgres or ClickHouse. The definitions must be inconsistent.
Can you fix it so both stores return the same metric values?

Postgres and ClickHouse both have events. Metric definitions differ: Postgres counts distinct user_id per day, ClickHouse uses a different formula. Fix the inconsistency.
Align metric definitions so daily_active_users and revenue are computed identically in both stores, or consolidate to a single source of truth.
