Challenge
The open data portal runs on an application called CKAN, which was in its version 2.6 and they wanted to bring it to version 9. Uploading the CKAN also implied making a framework change: from Python to Flask. This application provides a service to all government entities in Panama, such as the Comptroller General of the Republic, this gives credibility to all published data.

Solution
Infrastructure improvements were made. In the first stage of the project, work was done at the architecture level: the application on which the portal runs (CKAN) were updated, the framework was changed and the fireserver was also removed from the backend server.

Results
As it is a portal that manages public statistical data, data sets are generated in it, such as: publishing the budget for the year 2023, then every month the information is updated and how it is executed is uploaded.
All these documents were stored in the backend server and with the improvement that Rootstack implemented, they were taken to another server, a server exclusively for the fireserver. From the backend, a "question" is made to the other server about the documents and thus the information can be accessed.
