11-19, 15:50–15:55 (Pacific/Auckland), WG403
eoAPI is an open-source toolkit for building scalable Earth Observation applications. We discuss the state of core components like pgSTAC, TiTiler, and STAC-FastAPI, introduce new tools like stac-auth-proxy and stac-manager, and highlight recent infrastructure work in AWS CDK and Kubernetes for deploying production-ready services.
In 2023, Development Seed launched the eoAPI project - a growing collection of open-source tools and infrastructure aimed at making it easier to build, deploy, and scale modern Earth Observation (EO) applications. In this talk, we’ll explore the current state of the ecosystem, highlight new developments, and share what’s coming next.
We’ll visit some of the core building blocks of eoAPI:
- pgSTAC - A performant, normalized STAC catalog backed by PostgreSQL
- TiTiler - A dynamic tile server for Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs and STAC Items
- TiPg - A lightweight OGC API - Features implementation built on top of pgSTAC
- STAC-FastAPI - A high-performance, pluggable STAC API built with FastAPI
We’ll showcase some exciting new additions:
- stac-auth-proxy - A flexible FastAPI-based proxy for adding authentication and authorization to any STAC API
- stac-manager - A tool for orchestrating STAC metadata ingestion, validation, and management across pipelines
Finally, we’ll explore recent infrastructure efforts that support deploying and scaling these services:
- eoAPI-CDK - AWS CDK constructs for cloud-native eoAPI deployments
- eoAPI-K8s - Kubernetes Helm charts for containerized, production-grade deployments
Together, these tools form a modular, interoperable foundation for building next-generation EO platforms. Whether you’re running a small data portal or a high-scale STAC service, eoAPI provides the pieces to get you up and running securely and efficiently.
