Lightning Talk: AstrodbKit2: A Collaborative Database Tool
summary
AstrodbKit2 is a Python tool built on SQLAlchemy that creates a relational database with a JSON document store backend to manage collaborative, medium-scale astronomy catalogs (thousands of complex objects like brown dwarfs). Developers define schema.py classes, connect (sqlite shown), load directories of source data, and save which emits per-object JSON files for Git version control and CI validation. Pull requests merge to trigger a production export consumed by a Flask web app; not designed for millions of sources.
