Postgresql sum all unique values from previous dates - ruby-on-rails

Question

Let's say, for simplicity sake, I have the following table:
id amount p_id date
------------------------------------------------
1 5 1 2020-01-01T01:00:00
2 10 1 2020-01-01T01:10:00
3 15 2 2020-01-01T01:20:00
4 10 3 2020-01-01T03:30:00
5 10 4 2020-01-01T03:50:00
6 20 1 2020-01-01T03:40:00
Here's a sample response I want:
{
"2020-01-01T01:00:00": 25, -- this is from adding records with ids: 2 and 3
"2020-01-01T03:00:00": 55 -- this is from adding records with ids: 3,4,5 and 6
}
I want to get the total (sum(amount)) of all unique p_id's grouped by the hour.
The row chosen per p_id is the one with the latest date. So for example, the first value in the response above doesn't include id 1 because the record with id 2 has the same p_id and the date on that row is later.
The one tricky thing is I want to include the summation of all the amount per p_id if their date is before the hour presented. So for example, in the second value of the response (with key "2020-01-01T03:00:00"), even though id 3 has a timestamp in a different hour, it's the latest for that p_id 2 and therefore gets included in the sum for "2020-01-01T03:00:00". But the row with id 6 overrides id 2 with the same p_id 1.
In other words: always take the latest amount for each p_id so far, and compute the sum for every distinct hour found in the table.

Answer 1

Create a CTE that includes row_number() over (partition by p_id, date_trunc('hour',"date") order by "date" desc) as pid_hr_seq
Then write your query against that CTE with where pid_hr_seq = 1.
