I’ve always built analytics daily by default, and certain metrics real-time - via a different system - only when a compelling and permanent use case exists (except operational analytics). I mean something like YouTube view counter/likes or delivering order count/total as a b2b2c so your customers can watch their promotions in real-time. Major bonus, you have the super complicated, hard to maintain, real-time system to point to when someone wants everything real-time but invested the minimum possible.
