Getting Started

open-dapro is the data orchestration and pipelining tool for the German Energy System built with Dagster, dbt, PostGIS, and GeoServer. Its purpose is the collection and combination of data from different sources. The data pipelines can be scheduled regularly to keep the database up to date.

Use open-dapro if you want to

  • Have a local database of houses, electricity producers, ... on your server which updates automatically.
  • Extend existing pipelines with the datasets you need.
