Standardize products and create a DB

[oorestisime]

Store.ts served its purpose for quick launch. We should now start thinking of having one source of truth between their products listing in drive and in code to minimize discrepancies.

• Research which DB or CMS to use (prismic, contentful, sanity, airtable, postgres db)
  • The solution should allow to define a custom object
  • Should allow to upload images and resize/crop/compress
  • Should cost too much or ideally free
  • Has a nice integration with nextjs
  • Will allow us to import existing products easily
• Figure a plan to migrate there
• This should also eliminate any custom ad-hoc code in products template (if its that chair show this, if its a basket show that)
• FIgure how we would be doing the store if items would be coming form the API
• FIgure how we properly do variations and how we can link products between them
• If we could do bundles

will take time but from some talks i had and some research , everyone recommends mongo for what we want

[oorestisime]

No! We need something she can work with. She shouldnt need to ask us to change prices descriptions etc. Add new products or whatever

[artemis-toumazi]

Yes it's better to have the autonomy for adding new products, changing the prices etc. :)

A friend told me there is a way to do that, cause i asked. but since i have no idea about dbs i need to research more, i would like a timeline on this when we want it etc

Not urgent at all! Take all the time you need for your research
