Hardly any project at terrestris is realized without PostgreSQL with the PostGIS extension. PostgreSQL is an open-source, object-relational database management system that has proven its worth in numerous applications. With the PostGIS extension, PostgreSQL becomes a fully-fledged geodatabase. PostGIS extends PostgreSQL with spatial data types and functions, enabling the storage of vector and raster data directly in the database. It also offers comprehensive functions for spatial queries, topology analyses, and geoprocessing.
Store, analyze, and provide geodata efficiently
In combination with GeoServer, PostGIS data can be seamlessly published as OGC-compliant services such as WMS or WFS. The database enables central and consistent data storage, while GeoServer handles the visualization and provision – ideal for modern Web-GIS solutions.
We have relied on PostgreSQL and PostGIS for many years. We bring the know-how to efficiently implement even complex data models and to make geodata infrastructures future-proof.
