Sessions
Coordinates arrive in whatever projection the source used, occasionally several SRIDs in one file. We implemented a reusable Django GeneratedField that normalizes each row to one self-maintaining PostGIS point, now running in PoSSMM, West Virginia DNR's data platform.
Distributed wildfire modeling generates thousands of COGs per run. We needed them discoverable, viewable, and traceable with minimal custom tooling. This talk covers the STAC catalog we assembled from pgSTAC, stac-fastapi-pgstac, and titiler-pgstac, and what we learned.
