jdeko.me is a personal website designed & rewritten primarily to gain real-world experience with backend development, systems design/architecture, and database design/management.
every component of jdeko.me is containerized via Docker and orchestrated via a single docker compose file. this project builds several docker images, each of which is defined in a Dockerfile within the jdme-dkr directory
http requests to jdeko.me are handled by the API I wrote primarily with Go's standard library. jdeko.me/bball is served by a Postgres database I built to store NBA/WNBA statistcs.
a custom-designed postgres database stores the nba/wnba data returned by the API. new data is fetched nightly after the conclusion of all games using the bball-etl-go package I wrote to fetch NBA/WNBA stats from stats.nba.com. the database was built using the same package to fetch data from every NBA/WNBA game since 1970. go's concurrency features enable sourcing and inserting 50+ seasons of data (10+ GET requests to nba.com per season, ~ 1.6 million rows inserted on build as of 8/6/2025) in ~15 minutes.
the site's frontend is written using only pure HTML/CSS/Javascript. all static files are served from /static by the handlers in /api/static.go. /static/bball are the current production files that serve jdeko.me/bball
