Public cloud technologies available today are changing the way applications are designed and deployed. New cloud-native, serverless architectures enable web applications to be built without costly and cumbersome Virtual Machines (VMs), web servers, and databases, as in the past. Utilizing standard cloud services and content delivery networks, highly robust applications can now be delivered with just a few code and data files. These advancements are revolutionizing the geospatial industry which has traditionally required complex application architectures to provide large data-driven visualizations in the browser.
The presentation will include a survey of the technologies available in the market today, including COTS and open-source technologies and data sources from companies and organizations around the world. We’ll be showcasing a GIS solution, which we developed for the Louisiana Department of Health, to filter health facilities throughout the state based on several population criteria. The tool utilizes a static and relatively small dataset, making it an ideal candidate for the serverless architecture discussed in the webinar.
We support customers across industries, governments, academic institutions, and commercial customers alike. Sometimes, heavy, back-end solutions are required to get the job done, and other times a stream-lined, low-maintenance approach like GIS-in-the-Browser will suffice. Our expert staff has the depth of technical expertise and aptitude to determine the difference and, in this webinar, they will teach you how to figure out what your particular situation calls for, too.
