Modern geospatial applications demand robust, scalable, and repeatable infrastructure. At Abley, we’ve developed a mapping stack—built on open-source components like PostGIS, GeoServer, and MapLibre—deployed using a fully automated Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure-as-code (IaC) pipeline. Central to our approach is a reusable AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) library that encapsulates best practices for naming, tagging, and resource retention, ensuring consistency and compliance across all environments.
This talk will showcase how our infrastructure-as-code (Iac) strategy accelerates the deployment of Abley’s SafeSystem suite, a set of road safety applications and APIs. By centralizing infrastructure logic in a shared CDK library, we enable rapid provisioning, environment-specific configuration, and seamless integration with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. Our architecture supports high-availability and cost-effective geospatial services.
Attendees will gain practical insights into:
• Structuring a reusable CDK library for shared infrastructure code and multiple CDK applications.
• Using the AWS CDK to enforce organizational standards and automate resource management.
• Leveraging environment-driven configuration for safe, flexible deployments.
• Integrating open-source geospatial tools with modern cloud infrastructure.
Whether you’re building public mapping services or internal analytics, this session will provide actionable patterns for deploying and managing geospatial infrastructure at scale with AWS and the CDK.
