How do you implement the Bucket Pattern for optimizing IoT and high-frequency time-series documents?

❓ Interview Prompt: Explain the Bucket Pattern, grouping hourly/daily metrics into single documents, and reducing index overhead.

The Bucket Pattern groups multiple timestamped data points into single hourly or daily documents, reducing document count and index memory by 100x.

Code Implementation Example

typescript
import { Schema } from 'mongoose';

const hourlyBucketSchema = new Schema({
  sensorId: String,
  day: Date,
  count: Number,
  measurements: [{ timestamp: Date, temp: Number }]
});
💡Implementing the Bucket Pattern for IoT time-series data.
🎯 Interview Key Takeaway

Use the Bucket Pattern to aggregate high-frequency IoT data points into single hourly/daily bucket documents.
