[ Overview ]
[ 51.6M Sanity requests · 4.9 TB a year ]
powerhouse.com.au is the public front door for Powerhouse's four locations: Parramatta, Ultimo, Castle Hill and Sydney Observatory. It carries What's On, the events calendar, tickets and stories, and it now leads with Powerhouse Parramatta's opening.
As Senior Developer I own the data lifecycle of the Sanity content estate behind it, and the Content API that serves web, mobile and signage from one contract.
[ Public Website ]
One website for four museums, with hundreds of programs and a calendar that changes every day.
What's On listed 899 programs when these screenshots were taken, and the calendar runs day by day across all four locations. Around 30 people edit the content in Sanity, and the site has to stay quick when an opening sends traffic up.
Structured content in Sanity, rendered by Next.js and served from Vercel in Sydney.
Programs, events, locations and stories are structured documents in Sanity, spread across three to six datasets over the year. The site is built with Next.js and served from Vercel's Sydney region, and every image comes from Sanity's CDN, cropped to its focal point at the size each layout needs.
What's On has Programs and Calendar tabs, a saved-items tab, location and time pickers, search, type filters and a grid or list view. The calendar moves day by day, and every event can be saved from the listing.
A content estate serving more than 50 million requests a year.
