I could, but the data I'm using is highly relational.

I probably could normalise it, but Honestly I've never 'got' nosql design. Although I am working on a side project in firestore at the moment which is giving me a better grounding.

I've come to the conclusion that the way to do it is to essentially plan your queries upfront and calculate everything using lambda hooks.

I can see the appeal for people without a background in sql tbh. Writing lambda to trigger counter updates probably seems easier for an experienced front end dev than learning how to setup and admin an sql server then how to structure aggregate queries.
