Technical Guide
A guide covering the technical workings of the JFF Datastack. This largely includes detailed information about how it works, how to deploy, how to manage it, etc.
Overview
The JFF Data Stack (the stack) is a collection of mostly free and open-source data and data integration tools designed to be self-hosted (although many may have cloud versions available) with docker. The aim is to provide a modular, low-cost, but powerful solution for non-profits like JFF, its partners, or small organizations we work with in the field. Beyond costs, applications in the data stack are chosen based on unique functionality, ease-of-use, and ability to integrate with other applications already in the stack.
Internally at JFF, thes stack is more manually deployed and maintained. It operates as something of a test-bed for configuration changes or updates which can then be integrated and ported into the "productized" version.
