Push data into database?
thequbit opened this issue · comments
Discuss if we want to push the data to a database rather than in flat files as to make advanced queries possible. This will also make it easier to reuse the data in other projects/create visualizations.
labeled as question.
Keeping this open, but it appears that loading the data as flat json files is working nicely.
I think that using a database with GIS capability such as POSTGIS or MongoDB in the future will be beneficial once we start doing more advanced computations with distance metrics and all that but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
I think that we have all grown quite a bit since originally deploying this stack, and could make much more informed architecture decisions now. That being said, I'm still in the "keep it simple" camp, and like to use flat files when possible.
Closing this for now.
For this particular app, I don't think that a database is needed.
agreed.
