If you like QGIS it's quite likely that you also use and like PostgreSQL. You probably also use PostGIS to store geometries in your database.

But did you also know that the same database (in some cases with some extensions) can store way more complex structures, enforce advanced authorization rules, perform advanced geospatial analysis including routing, do full-text search, be used in AI applications, store time-series from your IoT sensors, give you a quick and effective API, and much more?

This talk will provide an overview of what PostgreSQL and some popular as well as some more obscure extensions can do, and how you can fit that into your open source geospatial stack.

Cloud Native is one of the largest paradigm changes in how we run and manage server side software. But how does it affect a typical geospatial software stack? Are the usual choices of map servers relevant in the Cloud Native age, and how can they be deployed in a way that takes advantage of the benefits Cloud Native brings.

This workshop will provide an introduction to topics such as Containers, Docker, Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code. The aim is for anyone who has taken the workshop to be able to set up their own geospatial stack on Kubernetes.

Please bring your own computer. Workshop environment with Kubernetes will be provided, primarily accessed via your web browser.
