stacture v0.0.1 integrates the core functionality of OGC API Coverages

Milestone v0.0.1 is in our internal gitlab instance: https://gitlab.eox.at/vs/stacture/-/milestones/4#tab-issues

I think this was closed on accident.

This issue (#21) and #22 are basically covering the same topic now - can they be consolidated?

[j08lue]

We still have not answered the question whether our stakeholders even require OGC API - Coverages.

• Identify use cases for Coverages and possible alternative user workflows #119

Let us please take down the current setup with Stacture, as we do not intend to maintain it.

If we decide that a Coverages service is needed, we will need to add new infrastructure anyways, since we will take a different approach.

• Take down Stacture Coverages infra @jankovicgd
• Adjust documentation (Data Access BB and deployment guide) @j08lue

@j08lue Sounds like we should remove the stacture steps in the deployment guide?

[j08lue]

Yes, on my list. 🙏

[rconway]

Yes, on my list. 🙏

In fact I was just confirming - since I can remove the stacture aspects now from the Deployment Guide doc (not the other aspects)
