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.
The growing availability of data from drones, Earth observation, and agricultural machinery (i.e., telemetry), combined with the advent of cloud infrastructure, has significantly accelerated innovation in how farmers and agricultural systems are supported. These advances have democratized access to data and capabilities, enabling precision farming solutions at an unprecedented scale.
This has become one of the main use cases for GeoServer deployments in recent years. At GeoSolutions, we have collaborated with a wide range of clients—from NGOs to large private companies, from startups to research institutions, helping them to extract value from data through GeoServer and other open-source geospatial technologies deployed at scale in cloud environments.
This presentation summarizes 10 years of experience in ingesting, managing, and disseminating data at scale for the precision farming industry. Key topics include:
- Optimization and organization of raster data
- Optimization and organization of vector data
- Data modeling for performance and scalability in GeoServer and PostGIS
- Deployment guidelines for scaling and performance of GeoServer
- On-the-fly styling for NDVI and other visualizations
By the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to design and plan GeoServer deployments to efficiently serve precision farming data at scale.
