Building a Modular Data Import Backend in Javascript

At Carevoyance we import and analyze a great number of public healthcare data sources in a multitude of formats. This is the story of our choice to use Node.js for our import pipeline, how that choice shaped our design philosophy for the import backend, missteps along the way, and how open source tools have helped expedite our development. Our data import pipeline story continues to evolve with new features and tool integrations to allow easy addition of new data sources, and we’d love to tell the JS community about our experience so far.
