Building a cartographic web application with pg_tileserv and pg_featureserv
2021-09-29, 10:00–10:30, Bariloche

There are some new GIS kids on the block : pg_tileserv and pg_featureserv are GO components allowing you to serve GIS data to build cartographic web applications.

Pg_tileserv let you take any data stored in PostGIS, and easily stream vector tiles to the web.

Pg_featureserv also takes your data from PostGIS. It implements the latest OGC API for Features ( OGC APIF ) standards and make it simple to provide a interoperable API for your front-end application.

These components take full advantage of the underlying PostgreSQL/PostGIS database to provide efficient features with a very simple mechanism.

Easy to set-up, easy to use and powerful, they are now part of the de-facto stack for GIS web developers.

We present these components and showcase an example to demonstrate their simplicity and efficiency.

Engineer at Oslandia since 2016 and historically a full-stack developer, my main area of interest are:

  • 3D Gis application in the browser (webgl)
  • And everything you can do with PostgreSQL and PostGIS.
