API Integrations: Weather Report
We’ve been doing some API work for a client. It’s business, and a bit personal project for them.
There’s been studies that this and that radio signal doesn’t penetrate the fleshy important parts of a human. In this case it does. It’s permeated our client’s business, filling terabytes in their data warehouse. Integrated in ways unexpected.
The stories we’ve heard, if there’s the information highway, data is the raw combustible fuel that powers it.
Some of them are tall tail -n 4:
- “A million threads!”
- “Rotating tokens!”
- “A mysterious misconfigured server!”
- “If only you were there!”
Some of them describe firsts:
- New explorations
- New tools
- New fascinations
Some of them sound like the fish that got away:
- Kriging
- Feature building
- Predicting
Regardless of the fantasies our client indulges in, this data isn’t materialized in a dashboard sitting unused. It’s a dashboard that powers the very existence of their business.
We’ve signed all the relevant paperwork and the client has allowed us to share some work.
