Moving to Custom Backend & Database Infrastructure 🔄

We're making significant improvements to our data architecture by transitioning from JSON files to a custom backend and database solution.

Why This Change?

• Better scalability for growing data needs
• Improved data consistency and reliability
• Enhanced query performance
• Real-time data updates
• Proper data validation and integrity checks

What's Changing?

• Replacing static JSON files with a proper database
• Implementing a custom backend API
• Adding data validation layers
• Introducing proper error handling

Timeline

• Development: In Progress
• Testing: Starting next week
• Migration: Phase-by-phase approach
• Expected completion: End of next month

What to Expect

During the migration, all existing functionality will remain available. We'll migrate data incrementally to minimize any potential disruptions.

For Contributors

If you're currently working with our JSON files, please:

1. Hold off on major data structure changes
2. Continue using current endpoints until migration notice
3. Watch this space for updated API documentation
