Initial Design # Kenya Climate Resilience Dashboard (KCRD) The Kenya Climate Resilience Data Hub is a web-based decision-support tool designed to empower Kenyan frontline decision-makers, policymakers, and community leaders with real-time, actionable environmental insights. This platform directly addresses the Triple Planetary Crisis — Climate Change, Biodiversity Loss, and Pollution & Waste — by integrating data from public and institutional sources into an interactive, location-based interface. Through predictive analytics, data visualizations, and risk alerts, the dashboard enables users to: * Monitor climate trends across counties, sub-counties, and wards. * Track pollution levels and emerging environmental threats. * Receive location-specific actionable insights for immediate intervention. * Support long-term climate adaptation and environmental resilience strategies. ## 🏗️ Architecture This project follows a **microservices architecture** with the following components: - **Frontend**: Next.js 14 with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS - **Backend API**: Node.js/Express.js REST API - **Data Processor**: Background service for data ingestion and processing - **Database**: PostgreSQL with PostGIS for spatial data - **Cache**: Redis for session and data caching - **Reverse Proxy**: Nginx for load balancing and SSL termination - **Monitoring**: Prometheus and Grafana for observability ## 🚀 Quick Start ### Prerequisites - Node.js 18+ - Docker and Docker Compose - Git ### Local Development Setup 1. **Clone the repository** ```bash git clone cd Kenya-Resilience-Data-Hub-Team-18-Climate-Champs ``` 2. **Copy environment variables** ```bash cp env.example .env # Edit .env with your configuration ``` 3. **Start with Docker Compose** ```bash # Build and start all services docker-compose up -d # View logs docker-compose logs -f # Stop services docker-compose down ``` 4. **Access the application** - Frontend: localhost - API: localhost - Grafana: lo …
