06-27, 16:00–18:00 (Europe/Tirane), UBT C / N109 - Second Floor
Configure and deploy geospatial datasets, hosts, and mapping interfaces to the cloud for free (as in Beer).
We provide a selection of public datasets to use and show how to load CSV, and or GEOJSON to the Postgis extended database service bit.io.
We explain how data interfaces can be run on the local host in an Express application framework.
We show how the host can be deployed as a cloud function through the Vercel node.js runtime.
Every participant will have their own Openlayers interface to visualise, query, and modify spatial datasets.
Access to any dataset can either be public or private according to the nature of the data.
