The Global Rangelands Data Platform (a.k.a. GRDP) is a small geospatial data layers application to show insights on rangelands ecosystems across the globe.
This README is an early WIP, and will be edited as needed, as the project moves along.
-
Client: The front-end application is implemented using Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. It provides an interface for the map visualization and data exploration.
-
Strapi Headless CMS: The back-end application is implemented using Strapi, which provides a flexible content management system and exposes APIs for dynamic data retrieval.
-
Cloud Functions: A small GCP Cloud Function to server as a mini tiler server/interface to use request data from GMV's Earth Engine account
External services:
-
Mapbox and Google Earth Engine: used for serving layers for the map
-
Transifex: a globalization management system, used to localize the application into several languages.
This repository contains all the code and documentation necessary to set up and deploy the project. It is organized into the following subdirectories:
| Subdirectory name | Description | Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| frontend | The Next.js client application | frontend/README.md |
| cms | The Strapi CMS / API | cms/README.md |
| cloud_functions | Cloud Functions (Earth Engine Tiler) | cloud_functions/README.md |
| infrastructure | The Terraform project & GH Actions workflow (provisioning & deployment to Google Cloud Platform) | infrastructure/README.md |
The project is deployed on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment. The infrastructure is provisioned and managed using Terraform scripts, ensuring consistent and reproducible deployments.
