At some point in 2020 I started working on a new generator (this time written in Java) against the offline database and the set of high-resolution scans that are related to the objects in the database.
This complex Java generator creates snapshots of the database in json files and converts the high-resolution scans into more web-friendly version of those (event posters and book covers mostly) images. Both the images and the json files are static exports, keeping most of the information in the database out-of-risk and keep hosting cheap and easy.

An Angular frontend application was added for modern behavior and look-and-feel.

This month saw the release for this new approach for dacorsa.com replacing the January 2016 version after almost 5 years of service.
