I'm impressed with how responsive the pages load on that site. I was trying to find info about the frontend framework they use and came across their github (it's React): https://github.com/dpla https://github.com/dpla
Also this is interesting: https://pro.dp.la/developers https://pro.dp.la/developers
"From a public API and bulk download that grant access to all of DPLA’s records under a permissive license, to code repositories and documentation that showcase in-house development efforts by DPLA’s Technology Team, DPLA offers something for every developer"

It makes sense to have a single digital library for physical constants, ephemeris tracking, volcano alerts, quantum encryption algorithms and the entire fediverse of government scientific data. It simply has to operate at the highest levels of public trust & transparency, as well as 99.9999% uptime ;)
