The document discusses recurring calendar events and the challenges in modeling them. It presents different approaches like storing each occurrence separately, bifurcating storage between single and recurring events, and generating occurrences from rules. It then introduces BlendCalendar as a solution that aims to make recurring events actually work by optimizing for typical usage patterns with event loads under 10,000 per year and queries within a given range rather than all future dates. Some remaining needs are listed like translations, exceptions, time zones, and data model improvements.
