The cloud has made it easier than ever to build powerful, scalable geospatial applications — but knowing where to start, and which technologies to use, remains a challenge.
You want to stream tiles, process open data, or serve up a map — but which services should you choose, and what’s the best architecture?
This talk introduces a Field Guide: a practical, no-nonsense resource for geospatial developers and analysts who want to get hands-on with AWS to build their own solutions. It maps common goals to real-world architecture patterns using services like AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and S3 — all building on widely used FOSS4G packages.
We’ll walk through selected examples from the guide, explore trade-offs, and share what works (and what doesn’t) from real-world projects — giving you the tools and patterns to design scalable, resilient geospatial apps that are ready for the real world.
