Latency 12ms
Throughput 45K msgs/s
Connected 1,247 clients
Uptime 99.99%

Advanced Spatial Analytics Engine

Perform complex spatial queries, buffer analysis, proximity searches, and statistical aggregation without leaving your workflow. Built-in PostGIS acceleration for massive datasets.

  • βœ“ Spatial SQL queries with PostGIS acceleration
  • βœ“ Buffer, intersect, union & clip operations
  • βœ“ Density mapping and heatmap generation
  • βœ“ Proximity analysis and network routing

-- Spatial Query Example
SELECT
  ST_Buffer(geom, 5000) AS zone,
  ST_Intersects(geom, target)
FROM sensor_data
WHERE ST_Contains(
  target,
  geom - 10000
) AND timestamp >
  '2025-01-01';

Full OGC Compliance & REST APIs

Complete OGC standards support β€” WMS, WFS, WCS, WMTS, CSW, and more. RESTful APIs with OpenAPI specifications, Swagger UI, and SDKs for every major language.

  • βœ“ OGC WMS, WFS, WCS, WMTS certified
  • βœ“ REST API with OpenAPI/Swagger docs
  • βœ“ SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, C#
  • βœ“ GeoPackage, GeoJSON, KML, Shapefile support
  • βœ“ GraphQL endpoint for flexible queries
// JavaScript SDK Example
import { GeoServer } from
  '@geoserver/sdk';

const gs = new GeoServer({
  url: 'https://api.geoserver.io',
  token: process.env.TOKEN
});

const layers = await
  gs.layers.list({workspace: 'demo'});

await gs.render.tile({
  layer: 'cities',
  z: 12, x: 2048, y: 1024
});

Enterprise-Grade Security

Granular role-based access control, OAuth2 and SAML authentication, encrypted data transit, and audit logging. Meet SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance out of the box.

  • βœ“ OAuth2, SAML 2.0, and LDAP integration
  • βœ“ Granular layer & workspace permissions
  • βœ“ TLS 1.3 encryption for all data transit
  • βœ“ Audit logging and activity monitoring
  • βœ“ SOC 2 Type II & GDPR compliant
