One of the key goals of the project is to be able to aggregate and downsample from raw high precision data. That means we want a framework in which we ship the code to where the data lives, not the other way around.

The abstractions I've seen that have the database layer and then some services on top all miss this. They transport all of the raw data over the network and then run the computations and return the summary ticks back to the user.

Our framework lets us compute the summary ticks locally and send only those back (is many cases, but not all).
