Look into writing API #3

Closed iamnbutler closed 9 years ago

iamnbutler commented 9 years ago

Is there a good way for us to serve data to each of the projects we build as well as any on-site projects? Is it worth the time investment to write our own API?

rosszurowski commented 9 years ago

The way I understand this task is that we would have a separate server that hosts all our data (student info, project metadata, etc.) which all of our products leverage. So both the off-site and the on-site work would make calls to this API. This avoids privileging one product over others.

Is that what you mean by this task, or were you thinking something else?

iamnbutler commented 9 years ago

Yeah that is pretty much it. Pretty much is it worth the work or not.

iamnbutler commented 9 years ago

I was planning on discussing all these tasks at the meeting on wed, so we can discuss their contents and pivot based on our discussion then.

rosszurowski commented 9 years ago

Sounds good.

I'm going to close this task, as I think the discussion can be consolidated into the backend tech task.
