AI assistants can now help administer GeoServer and MapStore via Model Context Protocol servers, publishing layers, tuning caches, diagnosing issues, with guardrails to keep them safe. An early look at what we're building and learning.

GeoServer enables publishing and processing geospatial data via open standards. This talk highlights new features, community updates, and recent developments, making it valuable for users, developers, and those curious about this widely adopted open-source OSGeo project.

GeoServer is mature and widely deployed, yet often underperforms due to configuration, not software. This talk self-benchmarks GeoServer: measuring the real performance cost of operator decisions—data formats, security, logging, CRS, JVM settings, and scaling.

GeoSolutions experience deploying GeoServer for precision farming at scale: optimizing raster/vector data, PostGIS data modeling, deployment guidelines, and on-the-fly agronomical index styling (NDVI and beyond). Attendees learn to design efficient, scalable GeoServer deployments.
