005 : Demo Space Project

This site is a dockerized node.js application running in a virtual computing environment (Render). It retrieves data from the SpaceX-API. MongoDB is used to store these and newly added data on a separate server.

"Making APIs publicly available isn't a purely benevolent gesture on the part of providers. Most organisations recognize that APIs represent a new and, in some cases, astoundingly profitable revenue stream..."
Debbie Walkowski

An API is an application programming interface that enables data extraction to be utilized in another application. An open or public API is publicly available for developers and other users. The SpaceX-API is an open source REST API for rocket, core, capsule, pad, and launch data, created and maintained by the developers of the r/SpaceX organization.

This demo site was built for educational purposes.
