Reducing workload using transaction aggregation

One or more non-transitory storage media storing instructions for aggregating transactions in a computing system, the instructions comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause:

• during a first period of time in which a triggering condition has not been satisfied:
• receiving a first request for a first one-to-many operation between a first entity and a plurality of first target entities;
• wherein the plurality of first target entities are a subset of a set of target entities;
• wherein the first request requires:
• a first set of one or more updates to one or more values associated with the first entity;
• and
• a plurality of first target updates, wherein each first target update of the plurality of first target updates is to one or more values associated with a respective first target entity of the plurality of first target entities;
• and
• in a first transaction, performing the first set of one or more updates and a first corresponding set of one or more updates to one or more values associated with an intermediary;
• receiving a second request for a second one-to-many operation between a second entity and a plurality of second target entities;
• wherein the plurality of second target entities are a subset of the set of target entities;
• wherein the second request requires:
• a second set of one or more updates to one or more values associated with the second entity;
• and
• a plurality of second target updates, wherein each second target update of the plurality of second target updates is to one or more values associated with a respective second target entity of the plurality of second target entities;
• and
• in a second transaction, performing the second set of one or more updates and a second corresponding set of one or more updates to one or more values associated with the intermediary;
• wherein one or more common target entities are common to both the plurality of first target entities and the plurality of second target entities;
• detecting that the triggering condition is satisfied;
• during a second period after detecting that the triggering condition is satisfied:
• performing a single transaction for each target entity in the set of target entities to:
• cause the one or more values associated with each respective first target entity to reflect the plurality of first target updates;
• cause the one or more values associated with each respective second target entity to reflect the plurality of second target updates;
• and
• update one or more values associated with the intermediary to reflect performance of the plurality of first target updates and performance of the plurality of second target updates;
• wherein the single transaction performed for each common target entity performs an update that aggregates the first target update that corresponds to the common target entity with the second target update that corresponds the common target entity.
