Serving earth observation data with GeoServer: COG, STAC, OpenSearch and more
Andrea Aime, Simone Giannecchini

Never before we have had such a rich collection of satellite imagery available to both companies and the general public. Between missions such as Landsat 8 and Sentinels and the explosion of cubesats, as well as the free availability of worldwide data from the european Copernicus program and from Drones, a veritable flood of data is made available for everyday usage.

Managing, locating and displaying such a large volume of satellite images set can be challenging. Join this presentation to learn how GeoServer can help with with that job, with real world examples.

State of GeoWebCache
Andrea Aime, Simone Giannecchini, Kevin Smith

GeoWebCache is a pure Java tile cache that can be used either stand alone, or in integration with GeoServer.
Attend this talk for a cheerful update on what is happening with this popular project, whether you are an expert user, a developer, or simply curious what it can do for you.

Crunching Data In GeoServer with Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS)
Andrea Aime, Simone Giannecchini

Discrete Global Grid Systems are a way to tessellate the entire planet into zones sharing similar characteristics, with multiple resolutions to address different precision needs, allowing integration of data coming from different data sources, and on demand analysis of data.

Come to this presentation to have an introduction to the DGGS concepts, learn when they are a good fit for a specific problem, and get an update on their implementation in GeoServer.

Serving large GeoPackage dataset in GeoServer: the OS MasterMap and ZoomStack use case
Andrea Aime, Simone Giannecchini

GeoPackage is becoming a pervasive tool to share data among systems. But how well does it transfer meta-information, and how well does it handle large datasets? The presentation will introduce the work GeoSolutions performed during OGC Testbed 16, to answer those questions. In addition to the above, we’ll discuss handling large raster GeoPackages with GeoServer.

Publishing maritime data with GeoServer
Simone Giannecchini, Nuno Oliveira

This presentation will describe the architecture put in place, and the challenges that GeoSolutions had to overcome to publish maritime data through GeoServer OGC services (WMS, WFS and WPS), finding the correct balance that maximized ingestion performance and visualization performance. We integrated with a streaming processing platform that took care of most of the processing and storing of the data in a storage that allows GeoServer to efficiently query for the latest available features, respecting all the authorization policies that were put in place. A few custom GeoServer extensions were implemented to handle the authorization complexity, the advanced styling needs and data integration needs of maritime data.
