create/update/delete pages on PW site B depending on data from PW site A

[ttbb]

i'm going to build up a structure with 2 PW sites:

1. site A is a inhouse data site set up with PW and containing sensitive and publicable content as well.
2. site B is a public facing website which shows a part of the site A data which his meant for publication.

site A runs locally when needed, if content is created/updated/deleted on this site.
during this, site A will be temporarily exposed to the web (e.g. dnydns or ngrok) and site B should sync itself now with the new/changed data from site A and pull content from site A via JSON.
this occasional sync process should be invoked manually from site B backend.

my questions are:

• did some one of you build such a construction?
• do you have a rough idea how to achieve this?
• are there helpful modules supporting such tasks?

i'm already familiar with building pages from external rest endpoints for migration of WP or drupal sites to PW.

any ideas/hints/pointers are highly appreciated

thanks thomas

I seems to me that you have a pretty clear idea overall on how to do it.

The closest I've done to this I decided to use queues to handle anything having to import through that, since I had to import images too so didn't want to go into timeout issues. So the import action actually got triggered from Site A on a Page:saved hook, which passed the page ID to an endpoint in Site B, which then triggered the creation of a queue item that then got back to an "import endpoint" on Site A. The processing on Site B is managed by supervisor. 

The part I wouldn't know how to solve is how to temporarily setup the reverse proxy with dyndns/ngrok. First thing that comes to my mind is to maybe have a cloud based thing in the middle like Amazon SQS so you can organize the work of Site A and Site B in one place.

thanks a lot, @elabx. that's a new direction you're bringing up! very interesting. i'll dive into it!

Synchronizing pages between two ProcessWire sites demands API integration or custom scripts. Clearly define triggers and data mapping for consistency. Sharing progress enriches the community's repository of practical examples. For PhD students, expert guidance makes all the difference during thesis writing.
