Automated data source discovery flags missing feeds, port event records become APRS-compliant, and platform-wide performance improvements.
Automated data source discovery
Locus now continuously scans for new public data sources and uses AI to evaluate whether each one is worth adding to the platform. Promising datasets are surfaced in a weekly email digest that includes a data preview, column count, and row count — so you can see what's available without leaving your inbox. This means Locus data coverage grows automatically as new government and public datasets come online, without any action on your part.
Port event records now APRS-compliant
Port event data now carries full APRS metadata — including record_id, source_uri, and vessel identifiers — bringing this table in line with the rest of the Codex catalog. Port event records are now audit-ready from the moment they're written. See the envelope coverage dashboard for current compliance percentages.
Platform performance improvements
Query performance across the platform has been improved through a database optimization pass — duplicate indexes were removed, missing primary keys were added, and frequently queried foreign keys were indexed. You may notice faster load times on pages that display vessel data, maritime links, and corridor information.
