Community Workshop: Keep It Simple: Hosting Data Projects

Join us for a practical 60-minute workshop designed specifically for data
practitioners working on CorrelAid projects. Learn essential hosting principles
that prioritize simplicity and sustainability over complexity. We'll guide you
through choosing technologies, implementing realistic data storage strategies,
and securing your projects. Discover modern hosting options, ranging from on-
premise to cloud services, and learn when to utilize tools like Docker and
Infrastructure as Code.
This workshop is theoretical and focuses on concepts and decision-making
frameworks; a follow-up practical workshop may be offered later featuring
hands-on hosting implementation with Hetzner using OpenTofu and Ansible.
**Who should join?**
Whether you're new to hosting or looking to improve your current setup, this
workshop provides actionable insights for creating maintainable, documented,
and secure data project infrastructure that your volunteer team can manage
during the project phase, then hand over to organizations for long-term
maintenance.
**Format**
This online workshop consists of 45 minutes of structured presentation 
followed by 15 minutes of Q&A discussion.
