I managed to progress the gadm-api project a bit when I was flying back to Amsterdam today. Otherwise it is very difficult to keep the habit of daily updates when traveling. The progress on the Postgres book had to be paused since traveling with 700 page book is very inconvinient.
[GADM-api] I started working on two new items:
– New query parameter for filtering jurisdiction by it’s parent. This will allow clients to find jurisdictions that belong to particular country, state or other administrative unit. This feature will require a improvement on my type system and introduction of the first database migration – adding the index on gid_<nr> columns.
– A tracing id for logging. An important feature that will let me make sense of logs and possibly filter them by a particular request.
