Right now, two new prototypes are coming together like chocolate and peanut butter to do exactly that.
First is TAK-Portal, a brilliant new prototype for TAK as a Service (TAKaaS) being developed by Justin Davis at the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department in Tennessee. It elegantly handles tedious backend tasks and safely pushes management down to the edge users, radically reducing the administrative burden.
The second is Infra-TAK. A couple of months ago, I mentioned how much easier this makes standing up a complete TAKServer infrastructure. Infra-TAK will now auto-deploy TAK-Portal—along with almost everything else needed for a full TAK environment—directly to Amazon (AWS) and Azure cloud deployments.
Together, these tools tackle the core costs of a TAK ecosystem: they reduce the time to install, and they lower the barrier of technical expertise required to manage the workload.
Both projects are currently open source.
Innovations like this are the exact kind of scalable, cloud-ready solutions required to drive TAK’s growth across every sector. I’m eager to hear your thoughts on these prototypes so we can share feedback with the developers.
Take a look at the tour of TAK-Portal in action here:
This is brilliant! Will Infra-TAK be deployable on other cloud server providers such as DigitalOcean? I already manage one on DO and would like to scale. Infra-TAK sounds like it will simplify this process. Thanks for the continued innovations!
Did this yesterday, took about 4 hours with zero coding knowledge and the help of AI. Would’ve been faster but had some issues with the qrcode onboarding. But all eud see each other. On aws btw.
