Migrating from MapServer to QGIS Server on Kubernetes

on 15, October, 2023

Why We Migrated

• Style Consistency: QGIS projects → direct server rendering
• Complex Queries: Native support for PostGIS ST_ functions
• Unified Environment: Single toolchain for desktop/server

Migration Steps

1. Containerized QGIS Server with custom plugins
2. Helm chart for statefulset deployment
3. NGINX reverse proxy with caching
4. Gradual traffic shift using Istio

Performance Gains

Data Platform with Modern Technologies

GeoMapVision provides access to a cutting-edge data platform. Currently, we provide data on a grid of 1km x 1km, with future models working with predictions on a 100m x 100m grid for any region. This platform offers:

• API Access: Users can access our enriched data and visualizations through modern APIs, making it easy to integrate our insights into their applications and systems. We utilize QGIS Server to serve our geospatial data, which works seamlessly with PostGIS for spatial database management and MapProxy for efficient data caching and transformation.
• Daily Updates: Our data platform is updated daily, ensuring that you have access to the most current information for your decision-making. By leveraging QGIS Server, we can provide dynamic and interactive maps that are always up-to-date.
• Risk Calculations: We provide risk calculations based on the data received on a daily level. This includes assessing risks such as fire, floods, and other environmental factors, helping you make proactive decisions to mitigate these risks. Our platform’s integration with QGIS Server and PostGIS ensures that these calculations are accurate and based on the latest data. Additionally, we offer machine learning models and consulting services to help you enrich your data and make the most informed decisions possible. Machine learning is utilized in most of our processes to enhance the accuracy and predictive power of our analyses.
• Pest Mapping for Agriculture: Our platform offers pest mapping for agriculture, enabling farmers to monitor how insects spread through their fields. We analyze factors like foliage in the area to provide insights that support pest control strategies. The use of QGIS Server allows us to create detailed and interactive pest maps that are easy to understand and act upon.
