Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices supporting data storage are described. A database system may store order information for an organization. This order information may span multiple steps of an order lifecycle, including order creation, order changes, order fulfillment, etc. To efficiently store order information for low-latency querying and data consistency, the database system may implement order summaries. For example, a database server may receive a new order data object associated with an order identifier and may create a corresponding order summary data object. If the database system receives any additional data objects associated with the same order identifier, the database server may update the order summary data object based on the additional data objects. If the database system receives a query for information related to the order, the system may retrieve queried values directly from the order summary data object, rather than aggregating data on-the-fly across multiple underlying data objects.
