It’s entirely unnecessary. The data is updated too infrequently to justify anything like this.
I built a one-pager vanilla JS site that polls the official Johns Hopkins aggregated data daily, and displays dynamically generated smoothed moving average charts, performs curve similarity analysis to identify similar patterns in different countries, and performs logarithmic regression to depict current doubling/halving times.
This happens entirely on the client side, with no server side component whatsoever (other than the http server to deliver the static HTML&JS that does all the work). See https://covid-19-charts.net/
