SNRG is the Burning Man regional event for Southern Nevada (essentially Las Vegas). In 2023, SNRG was happening at the start of October, a short month or so after the burn. I was asked if I could help out with the "What Where When" as software for managing this in previous years was now costly and there wasn't anything viable that could be used. Dust was a perfect candidate for SNRG as it had worked well at the Burn. However, it was designed for just that: the big burn and not a regional....
So, it was time for an extremely quick rewrite: I needed to create a backend for dust capable of managing camps, events and music. In a few short weeks that is what happened I had used various technologies to create a data store and backend application.
I used Cloudflare and some of their services like R2 to store camp and event images and JSON files (the final output for events, camps and art), KV for temporary data storage and Workers to manage the service that allows camps to register their events and me to publish approved content. I used Netlify to store the admin web app and build it from source code.
By the time SNRG happened in October dust was rebuilt and allowed theme camps to add and edit their events. It was rough and a bit buggy but it worked and the groundwork was there to use this for other regional burns.
