GeoServer is a web service for publishing your geospatial data using industry standards for vector, raster and mapping. Choose additional extensions to process data (either in batch or on the fly) and catalog records.

GeoServer is widely used by organizations throughout the world to manage, disseminate and analyze data at scale. GeoServer web services power a number of open source projects like GeoNode and geOrchestra.

This presentation provides an update on our community as well as reviews of the new and noteworthy features for the latest releases. In particular, we will showcase new features landed in 2.26 and 2.25.

We will also check-in on the challenges highlighted on the 2024 Development Roadmap and provide a score card

Attend this talk for a cheerful update on what is happening with this popular OSGeo project, whether you are an expert user, a developer, or simply curious what GeoServer can do for you.

The development community is really excited about having modern (REST and JSON) protocols for geospatial data infrastructure. While we love the traditional WMS and WFS protocols, the heavy use of XML is a barrier to today’s developers and tool chains.

GeoServer is enthusiastically pursuing these standards thanks to the efforts of Andrea Aime and other volunteers at the joint OSGeo / OGC code sprints. The GeoNetwork team has also attended these events to work on record management.

• This presentation looks at the approach used by the OGCAPI family of protocols.
• We also look at how OGCAPI Features works in more detail, as one of the first standards to be finalized.
• We check in with OGCAPI Records and the progress made by the GeoNetwork team
• We look at the OGCAPI standardization process, and what features we are looking forward to being finalized
• Looking ahead to what is needed for OGCAPI support in GeoServer to be successful

Jody and Gabe are enthusiastic GeoServer developers really using this presentation as an excuse to work on these new protocols.

Attend this talk to learn about the transition to OGCAPI Protocols and help your organisation plan for the future.

Abstract:

Unlock the full potential of your geospatial data with GeoServer Cloud! This presentation will showcase how GeoServer Cloud delivers high availability, scalability, and cost-effective mapping solutions, positioning itself as a robust alternative to proprietary mapping platforms. Learn how to optimize your GeoServer deployment for production, ensuring reliability and efficiency without breaking the bank.

GeoServer Cloud is a GeoServer distribution (alongside war downloads and docker), that leverage microservices for deployment.

Session Description:

As the demand for reliable and scalable geospatial solutions grows, GeoServer Cloud emerges as a leading choice for organizations looking to enhance their mapping capabilities without incurring excessive costs. This session will explore how GeoServer Cloud addresses these needs through its core features and advanced functionalities.

In this session, you will learn:

1. High Availability and Scalability: Discover how GeoServer Cloud ensures high availability and scalability, allowing you to confidently deploy your geospatial applications.

2. Improved Catalog scalability: Say goodbye to lengthy load times. GeoServer Cloud leverages a new PostgreSQL back-end for the GeoServer Catalog and Configuration objects, ensuring a cloud-friendly, stateless, scalable storage solution. Experience near-instantaneous pod start-up times, allowing you to spawn as many pods as needed and be ready in seconds.

3. Advanced Authorization with GeoServer ACL: Secure your data with GeoServer ACL, an advanced authorization system. This independent application service manages data access rules and per-workspace administrative rights, providing granular control over your geospatial data.

4. Comprehensive Observability: GeoServer Cloud integrates with observability tools to collect traces, metrics, and logs. This integration provides invaluable insights into your system’s performance, supporting proactive monitoring and troubleshooting. Working with open-source tools like Jaeger and Prometheus or commercial offerings, and ensuring adaptability to diverse cloud environments and existing infrastructure.

During this presentation, we will walk you through these features and discuss their positive impact on productivity, reliability, and efficiency. Learn how Camptocamp’s customers have successfully implemented GeoServer Cloud and how you can achieve similar results in your organization.

Join us to explore the cutting-edge capabilities of GeoServer Cloud and transform your geospatial data management.
