Count events for each customer_id as the input is read.
Keep only a counter per key even as the input grows.
Which implementation is most appropriate?
Use a Python dictionary or Counter keyed by customer_id to update each count in one pass.
Detailed explanation
Repeated scans grow costly as the number of events and keys increases.

Foundation review
One-pass aggregation
A dictionary or Counter avoids repeated full scans for each key.
Memory bound
High-cardinality keys may require partitioning or external state when counters grow large.
