Grid

Grid is the Guardian’s image management system, which provides a universal and fast experience accessing media that is organised and using it in an affordable way to produce high-quality content.

See the Vision document for more details on the core principles behind this project.

Grid runs as a set of independent micro-services (Scala and Play Framework) exposed as hypermedia APIs (argo) and accessed using a rich Web user interface (AngularJS).

Grid relies on Elasticsearch for blazing-fast searching, and AWS services as additional storage and communication mechanisms.

Beautiful visualizations. Multiple sources.

Explore & Explain

Start by connecting a data source to GRID. We play nicely with Google Sheets, Excel, Notion databases, and Airtable bases. Or, get off to a quick start with Scratchpad.

Add display & interaction elements to your GRID doc. Then pull data from one or more sources to build your financial projection, ROI calculator, or quarterly board report. Easy!

GRID Scratchpad for quick editing on the fly

Scratchpad is our lightweight spreadsheet editor. As a simple spreadsheet workspace, Scratchpad is perfect for doing impromptu analysis without a prepared spreadsheet model. Just start typing 🚀

Build & narrate quick interactive projections
Paste in & visualize data from tables, spreadsheets, or the web
Combine data from different sources into one chart

Scratchpad streamlines your workflow so you can take quick tasks from start to finish.
