Overview
This PR moves the census-platform from just calculating IMD and serving lists of LSOAs/LADs etc, to serving geometry files.
ONS supports high res and low res boundary geometry (shape files) of LSOAs, SOAs, Data Zones, either clipped to low tide, or including the peripheral islands. The high definition files are over 1GB so cannot be stored on github, and would take ages to load and serve.
The secret after much research is to serve the data from CrunchyData's
pg_tileservwhich is hosted as a separate container. This generates tiles which serve quickly and work together with a CDN which caches the tiles so they can be served first with minimal latency. And of course this uses geography so we will need to upgrade to postgis.This PR therefore:
seedfunction to pull in all the full detail (BFC) geometry data from arcgis in chunks, then optimize it for serving and link it to the IMD models (Ireland is not available on arcgis so we have towgetthe geojson and simplify the oas into SOAs)pg_tileservGIthub Pages
I am sorry about the size of the PR. I initially committed a number of large files which i failed to remove from the previous commits and in error wound the whole branch back to the initial commit.
