Consecutive Active Users Query

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Write a query to find the active users who performed a specific action consecutively for three or more days.

Use sync_completed as the specific action. Treat multiple events on the same user and date as one active day.

Output

  1. One row per qualifying streak, with user_id, user_name, streak_start_date, streak_end_date, and consecutive_days.
  2. Include only active users and streaks lasting at least three consecutive calendar days.
  3. Order by user_id, then streak_start_date.
