v2 alpha: start using v2 search/results

[maxachis]

Part Of:

• data sources app v2 #248
• V1 to V2 Database Migration Plan #456

Requirements

• Alpha: integrating v2 search into the homepage
• do not implement integrate with GitHub for Requests project management #299
• keep v1 online
• refresh the v2 database from v1 every day (🔥)
• update pdap.io from dev (dev → main 12-2-24 pdap.io#187)
• @maxachis: Switch over to v2 health monitor #538
• @joshuagraber: hide follow, sign up, sign in
• @joshuagraber: in the v2 app, use Airtable links for new source and new request (do not require sign in)
  • new source: https://airtable.com/app473MWXVJVaD7Es/shrJafakrcmTxHU2i
  • new request: https://airtable.com/app473MWXVJVaD7Es/shrbFfWk6fjzGnNsk
• @josh-chamberlain: replace the embedded search on pdap.io with v2
• @josh-chamberlain: make tiny visual refinements to search, results, detail views: v2: misc visual enhancements design-system#123

Then, we will be in an alpha state where we have the v2 app and API using the v2 database, fed from Airtable. We can have users test the search, and celebrate the user-friendliness.

Meta goals

• Ensure we have a means to quickly switch back, if necessary
  • we can revert to a previous deployment/branch, because v1 will still be live; I don't think we need to use a feature flag here
• Ensure that other parts of the website, still under development, are not exposed
  • covered by the above requirements

@josh-chamberlain I've set up the v1->v2 database refresh to occur daily, rather than every hour -- we can technically do it (and I know I previously was like "Sure, let's do it!") , but I will need to make some adjustments to the automation server to make sure it's properly cleaning out old builds, because it'll build up more quickly otherwise.

Other than that, what's the rationale for having it refresh hourly, rather than daily, considering we don't typically have super fast-updating source data?

[josh-chamberlain]

@maxachis that's ok! No real rationale—in cases where we do have a handful of folks making submission (it happens) it can be nice to see the effects of your work in the same day. Really, daily is perfectly fine.
