deprecate SHARED_DB #57

Open fgregg opened 4 years ago

fgregg commented 4 years ago

since all our the scrapers we are deploying now need the environment variable SHARED_DB, perhaps we should update that as the default path in the pupa_settings.py file and not required SHARED_DB to be set? Thoughts, @hancush ?

Love this idea. 💯

fgregg commented 4 years ago

we can't quite do it because we still support the OCD API. We should figure out what we want to do about that.

hancush commented 4 years ago

Are there any active users of the OCD API?

fgregg commented 4 years ago

i think @derekeder might have a better answer to that than me.

Another thing that comes to mind is, since the scrapers now populate Councilmatic instances directly, is it worth maintaining a standalone OCD API, or could we build an API into Councilmatic instances?
