Short summary

Engineer details building a data pipeline aggregating Korean entertainment data from 10+ sources (APIs, web scrapers) into queryable Supabase PostgreSQL. Orchestrated with Prefect for retries and caching, scheduled via free GitHub Actions (2000 min/month). Covers architectural decisions: separate tables, indexed queries, PostgreSQL NULL-handling gotchas, and cost optimization for pre-revenue.
