It also hosts a flattening tool (spoonbill), which is an online wizard to transform the JSON to Excel/CSV. Having the JSON files on the same server make this second tool much faster. Users can also upload their own JSON files to the flattening tool.
For the flattening tool, its processing is fairly CPU intensive, so it needs to be comparable to the production server. The requirements expressed by Quintagroup were "4 or more CPU core" "RAM - 8GB or more".
Users of the flattening tool can download the Excel/CSV output for a given time period. If we want to preserve access, we will need to copy over some files as well. I'll also need to check if there's a database to sync.

Split from https://github.com/open-contracting/deploy/issues/289 as Spoonbill is not launched.
