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. Using 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 includes a survey of the technologies available today — COTS and open-source — and data sources from companies and organizations around the world. We'll showcase a GIS solution we developed for the Louisiana Department of Health to filter health facilities throughout the state based on several population criteria. The tool uses a static, 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 sectors. Sometimes heavy back-end solutions are required; other times a streamlined, low-maintenance approach like GIS-in-the-Browser will suffice. Our expert staff has the depth of technical expertise to determine the difference — and in this webinar, they'll teach you how to figure out what your particular situation calls for, too.
NLT presenters include an Atmospheric Scientist & Senior Geospatial Consultant, a Cloud Architect & Senior Consultant, a Senior Data Scientist & Application Developer, a Senior Solutions Architect, and a Program Manager & Senior Consultant — drawing on deep expertise across atmospheric science, cloud architecture and security, data science, remote sensing, and enterprise GIS.
