Expert GeoServer

A fast-paced guide to putting your GeoServer-based application into fast user-friendly and secure productionKey Features Resolve bottlenecks optimize data stores and cluster server resources Use identity management and authentication for a user-specific secure web application Go beyond traditional web hosting to explore the full range of hosting options in the cloudBook DescriptionGeoServer is open source server-side software written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. In this book youll start by learning how to develop a spatial analysis platform with web processing services. Then youll see how to develop an algorithm by chaining together geospatial analysis processes which you can share with anyone in the world. Next youll delve into a very important technique to improve the speed of your map application―tile caching. Here youll understand how tile caching works how to develop an effective tile cache-supported web service and how to leverage tile caching in your OpenLayers web application.Further on youll explore important tweaks to produce a performant GeoServer-backed web mapping application. Moving on youll enable authentication on the frontend and backend to protect sensitive map data and deliver sensitive data to your end user. Finally youll see how to put your web application into production in a secure and user-friendly way. Youll go beyond traditional web hosting to explore the full range of hosting options in the cloud and maintain a reliable server instance.What you will learn Develop a WPS-processing service to allow web-based geospatial data processing Get to know important techniques to improve the speed of your web map application―tile caching raster data optimization and server clustering Find out which GeoServer settings resolve bottlenecks Develop an algorithm by chaining geospatial analysis processes together Put your application into production with hosting monitoring and automated backup and recovery Understand how to develop an effective tile cache-supported web service Master techniques that ensure resilient server deploymentWho this book is forThis book is for anyone who wants to learn about advanced interfaces security and troubleshooting techniques in GeoServer.
