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 = 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.

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.
