You're making a conscious trade off, which is better than most of the heavy apps out there, because they are slow and heavy. It would be interesting to document your decision making in some kind of blog post, especially if there is real hard data behind the decisions. That's where the engineering lies.
I'll be honest as a 1 man operation, my flowchart is fairly simple:
-Can psql do this? Then make the statement to do it
-Gotta do it on code? Make sure you have distinct read – process – save chunks so you can see whats slowing you down and minimize cache misses.
