Embracing Cloud-Native Geospatial
11-20, 09:00–09:25 (Pacific/Auckland), WG802

Learn the basics of what it means to have cloud-native geospatial infrastructure, and explore how you can convert your existing data architectures to be more performant with less cost.


Cloud-native geospatial represents a paradigm shift in how organizations handle location-based data and spatial analytics. This modern approach combines the power of cloud computing with geospatial technologies to create scalable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions.

This session will be an introduction to what it means to be "cloud-native". Key components of cloud-native geospatial include storage solutions, compute services, analytics capabilities, and visualization.

The benefits of this approach include:
- Bring compute to the data, not the other way around
- Scalability to handle varying workloads
- Pay-as-you-go pricing model
- Reduced infrastructure management overhead
- Global availability and low latency
- Built-in security and compliance features
