Intro
Databruce is a database of Bruce Springsteen’s performing career. Initially in SQLite, and then moved over to PostgreSQL to make it easier to interface with Heroku (which I use to host the associated Discord bot.)
History
Below are blog posts detailing the history of this project. It has gone through multiple iterations, broadly referred to as “version 1” and “version 2”. I wrote extensive pieces on the history of each of these versions. The short version is that V1 was an SQLite database, that I worked on from March 2023 until about January 2024. V2 was redone basically from scratch, using PostgreSQL and much better tools.
The first one covers “Version 1” of the database, from March-September 2023.
The second one covers “Version 2”, started in January 2024 and going up to August 2024.
I will likely at some point write another to cover developments from August 2024 until now. Each post is long enough as it is.
A website version of this database has been in the works since around August 2024 as well. I had hoped to get it online by now, but progress has been pretty slow due to also learning Django at the same exact time. This is not recommended.
