Level 5 — Owner

Level 5 · Owner

Identity. Franchise strategy, full-stack thinking.

You ship the platform. Raw data on one end, a live URL on the other, scheduled refreshes in between. The whole thing has to work without you sitting next to it.

What you’ll learn

Infra / Backend	Frontend / Deploy
Postgres admin, indexing, query tuning	Next.js + Tailwind + shadcn/ui
FastAPI, async endpoints, request validation	Observable Plot or D3 for charts
ETL orchestration, logging, scheduled refresh	Vercel deployment, custom domain

Capstone

Public Lions analytics app, end to end. Raw nflverse → ETL → Postgres → FastAPI → Next.js UI → deployed to app.1pride.app.

Unlock criteria

• A live URL that loads in under 2 seconds
• A public repo with clean commit history
• A README good enough that a stranger could fork the project and contribute

Lesson plan

1. The L5 architecture
2. FastAPI basics
3. ETL orchestration
4. Caching, CORS, and the boring web stuff
5. Deploying — Vercel + Neon + Fly

Capstone

The deployed app — app.1pride.app

Note

Phase 0 already ships a scaffold of the L5 app at app/ and a FastAPI backend at data/src/onepride_data/api.py. The L5 work is taking those scaffolds the rest of the way to a public URL.
