#api #docker #opendata #showdev

🙋 About

New-Caledonia has an Open Data platform on which public organizations (aka. partners) come and share data, on various topics like:

🧑‍⚕️ Health
🌳 Ecology, climate & environment
🧾 Taxes incomes
📍 Geographic Information System (streets,...)
🥬 Agriculture
🎭 Culture & art
📈 Economy & employment
🧑‍🎓 Education
⚡ Energy
🏟️ Youth, sports,
💻 Technology
🚌 Mobility
...

☝️ Unfortunately, for now, as these datasets are provided by various data providers:

, there is no real common governance on top of all these datasets.

👉 The consequence of this is that, as a developer, you want to work on a specific transversal subject,...

you'll have to deal many datasets to bring some real value, ... then achieve higher business values.

🐌 In a word, before to be able to answser specific business driven questions, you'll have to:

🔬 Learn about the dataset dictionary
💪 Deal with each dataset
🕸️ Link datasets between each others with universal keys (or maintain a referential set of keys)
🛍️ Make (create, release, deploy & maintain) this as a nice & ready-to-use API
🎯 (At last) do your stuff : work on your primary business goal

🦥 The `DX` word

The Developer Experience (DX) word is quite straightforward:

Everyone would rather jump-start straight to step 5... and not care about the boilerplate data side.

🪝 Pitch

This post is all about "How to make it possible to jump start to Step 5... , and most of all, how to prepare & deliver it at scale."
