The Empty Database - TrumpRX.com (Ep. 533) The Architecture of the National Design Studio

Описание: In this episode of Database History, we explore a radical shift in federal technology occurring right now in 2026. The National Design Studio (NDS) is moving away from traditional, massive government databases in favor of what they call "The Empty Database" architecture.

Using the new TrumpRX.com platform as a case study, we look at how the government is transitioning into an API aggregator. Instead of storing your personal medical records in a giant federal warehouse, the system functions as a high-speed search portal that pulls real-time data directly from private-sector partners.

In this deep dive, we discuss:

API Aggregator Architecture: How the government avoids technical debt by outsourcing infrastructure.

The Liability Shift: Why not "owning" the data reduces government risk and improves privacy.

National Design Studio Philosophy: How private-sector experts like Joe Gebbia are redesigning the citizen user experience.

The Database Evolution: Comparing this lean, modern approach to the "IMS Empire" and the punch-card systems I used back in 1974.

Is "The Empty Database" the future of efficiency, or does it raise new questions about data sovereignty?
