Should we deploy our own backend so that we don't rely on CHHS Open Data Portal?
The WIC vendor location functionality depends on their CKAN API, which changes periodically (see #25, #50, #56). The resource key in the URL appears to update whenever new data is published.
In addition to locations, our backend could serve our own version of the WIC Authorized Product List. We currently rely on sample_data/foods.json.
The main trade-off is increased system complexity. A proof-of-concept monorepo is available here for review: https://github.com/natebass/wicit-doc-example.
