[PortalJS @PortalJS_]

We built an #OpenSource template that adds a read-only exploration layer on top of #OpenMetadata. Includes: dataset search, domain browsing, glossary, and detail pages. Fetches directly from OpenMetadata—no duplication or syncing.

#OpenMetadata organizes data by services, schemas, and tables - logical for engineers. #PortalJS remaps that to datasets, organizations, and resources - easier for researchers and analysts to browse.

#OpenMetadata = powerful for #DataGovernance. But not everyone thinks in schemas and services.

#PortalJS adds a discovery layer on top - same #metadata, simpler interface for researchers and analysts.

A typical PortalJS decoupled setup:

CKAN backend -> API Gateway (optional) -> PortalJS frontend (Next.js app hosted on CDN/serverless platform).

This separation provides stability, scalability, and flexibility.

How does #PortalJSCloud save costs?

By replacing dedicated server costs with serverless pay-as-you-go, eliminating manual maintenance overhead (updates, security), and reducing custom dev time with pre-built features.

For developers building on top of data platforms like CKAN, what helper libraries or SDKs do you wish you had to simplify API interactions?

Managing CKAN infrastructure (servers, DBs, Solr) is complex.

#PortalJSCloud abstracts this away with a managed SaaS offering, letting teams focus on data publication, not infra headaches.

Dataset metadata pages (title, description, tags) are often static.

Using Static Site Generation (SSG) via PortalJS/Next.js pre-builds these pages for instant loading, enhancing UX and reducing server strain.

Smart architecture.
