Tailored deploy: an undergraduate thesis automates individualized AgroMart deployments
André Aben-Athar de Freitas and Pedro Vitor de Salles Cella defended at FCTE/UnB an undergraduate thesis automating the individualized deployment process of AgroMart — allowing each CSA to run its own instance.
Brasília, February 14, 2023
If each community has to run its own AgroMart copy, deployment becomes the bottleneck. This is the bottleneck André Aben-Athar de Freitas and Pedro Vitor de Salles Cella went after in the undergraduate thesis defended in February 2023, under the advising of Prof. André Luiz Peron Martins Lanna .
The work automates individualized platform deployment — each CSA stands up its own tailored instance with minimal manual intervention — cutting the human cost of expansion and preventing adoption from stalling for lack of technical labor. It is the difference between a platform that “exists” and one that “scales” in the sense that matters: by community will, not by the presence of original authors.
The thesis speaks to Green Software — through its commitment to economical, sustainable solutions — and to digital transformation of family farming. It is another chapter in the AgroMart saga, a project that crosses cohorts while preserving identity at every new iteration.
The full text — written in Portuguese — is available at the UnB Undergraduate Theses Digital Library.
