商品描述

A fast-paced guide to put your Geoserver-based web application into fast, user-friendly, and secure production

Key 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 cloud

Book Description

GeoServer is an open source server-side software written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. In this book, you ll start by learning how to develope a Spatial Analysis Platform with Web Processing Services. Then you ll see how to develop an algorithm by chaining together geospatial analysis processes, which you can share with anyone in the world. 

Next you ll dive into a very important technique to improve the speed of your web map application tile caching. Here, you ll understand how tile caching works, how to develop an effective tile cache-supported web service, and how to leverage the tile cache in your OpenLayers web application.

Further on, you ll see important tweaks to produce a performant GeoServer-backed web mapping application. By properly configuring your GeoServer instance, you can avoid performance bottlenecks for your end user. Next, we ll enable authentication and identity management for your application, where you ll build a user-specific and secure web application through identity management and authentication. Moving on, you ll enable authentication on the front and back ends to protect sensitive map data, and how to deliver sensitive data to your end user.

Finally, you ll see how to put your web application into production in a secure and user-friendly way. Here, we ll look at hosting of the OpenLayers, GeoServer, and data aspects of your application. You ll go beyond traditional web hosting to explore the full range of hosting options in the cloud, and maintaining a reliable server instance
