GeoServer is a well-established and highly popular all-round map server, but reaches some limitations in scalability to meet high loads and high availability requirements. For this purpose, GeoServer Cloud was implemented as a separate open source project built "on top" of GeoServer.
GeoServer Cloud transforms GeoServer into scalable individual components (microservices) for container orchestration environments like Kubernetes.
This talk will give an introduction of GeoServer Cloud and showcase some of the successful usages in production environments.

GeoServerCloud might seem complex, but it doesn’t have to be. In this presentation, we’ll show you how to get started easily and without headaches, leveraging its flexibility and scalability without needing to be a DevOps expert. Through a practical approach, we’ll begin with a local setup using docker-compose, gradually scale up to a small two-machine cluster with shared resources, and finally transition smoothly to Kubernetes. Discover how to grow at your own pace and be ready to scale when your project demands it.

The Terraform Provider for GeoServer configuration management keeps improving. After an overview of the changes of the past year, we will see how to take advantage of the terraform ecosystem to make configuration management easier. We will finish to see how you can use the provider together with terraformer to synchronize environments or to migrate from GeoServer to GeoServer Cloud.

Overture Maps provides a rich source of open geospatial data, but how can we harness its full potential within GeoServer without the complexity of local data management? In this presentation, we will explore how Overture Maps can be seamlessly integrated as a direct data source in GeoServer, unlocking new possibilities for dynamic map rendering and real-time geospatial analysis.

Through practical examples, we will demonstrate different approaches to accessing and utilizing Overture Maps data within GeoServer, enabling dynamic rendering without the need for local storage. Whether through a Web Feature Service (WFS) gateway or alternative integration methods, our approach ensures direct access to up-to-date geospatial information. Additionally, we will introduce enhancements developed to streamline the use of Overture Maps as a data source, making it easier to integrate and leverage its full potential.

Join us to discover how this integration simplifies workflows, optimizes performance, and enables real-time geospatial applications powered by open data.
