Project Antigravity: Multi-Source Publication Registry
A proof-of-concept for the Phase 4 zero-touch publication system, demonstrating the Registry pattern.
Overview
This experiment tests the viability of a centralized PUBLICATION_REGISTRY table in Airtable to orchestrate content delivery across multiple source types.
Hypothesis
By decoupling the publication metadata (slug, title, status) from the content source (Airtable, local MDX, Google Drive), we can achieve a highly anti-fragile architecture that scales to dozens of collections without increasing workflow complexity.
Implementation Details
The core of this system is the Registry Resolver node in n8n, which uses a switch statement to route content extraction based on the source_type field.
{
"source_type": "airtable",
"source_ref": "rec123ABC"
}
Results
Initial tests show a 70% reduction in workflow maintenance overhead when adding new content collections.
