Why precision matters at vineyard scale

The Wine Industry is a large part of the market. However these places lack modern applications, current weather applications are not enough. Temperature swings during budburst, flowering, or harvest can change yield and quality. Terracast focuses on providing an accurate risk index with quick notifications to ensure safe and efficient vineyard operations.

Terracast “not just for forecasting”

Built for the paddock and the platform: turn messy feeds into decisions farmers trust not another generic app tile.

Product

One pipeline from Open-Meteo to risk-aware views so “forecast” means Terracast intelligence, not a passive temperature readout.

16-day horizonPreprocessed JSONDynamo + S3 archive

Short- & medium-term forecasts

Plan ahead with horizon aligned to operational viticulture—not just today’s temperature.

Beyond “what’s the temperature?”

Many tools stop at a regional icon forecast. Terracast is aimed at vineyard operations. Tying forecasts to risk, archives, and APIs you can embed in your own workflows.

Generic weather appsShows simple weather forecast data for the day, no risk analysis or historical data.

Manual farm logsValuable context, but heavy input and no automated forward risk.

TerracastForecast + preprocessing + risk framing in one place, with API reuse.

Serverless, modular, extensible

Stateless Lambdas in a pipeline keep costs predictable while other teams can subscribe to the same processed events irrigation optimisers, disease models, or yield tools layered on shared weather intelligence.

Frontend

Next.js dashboard, charts, PDFs, responsive paddock use.

API Gateway & Lambda

Event-driven microservices for ingest, transform, and risk analysis.

DynamoDB & S3

Hot structured access by location/time; archival history in object storage.

Amplify deployment

CI/CD and hosting aligned with course cloud constraints.
