Session
This hands-on workshop teaches participants how to build a spatial GraphQL API on top of PostgreSQL/PostGIS using PostGraphile. We will publish vector and raster data, apply spatial filters, create processing endpoints, secure the API with Row-Level Security, and extend it with server-side plugins.
