GeoServer Developer expertise for fast, secure, well-run map services
Bring in an experienced GeoServer developer to install, harden, publish, style and tune your map server, or to rescue one that has become slow and unstable. Remote, hands-on engineering with clear documentation and no lock-in.
When it makes sense to hire a GeoServer developer
GeoServer is the most widely deployed open-source OGC map server, and installing it takes minutes. Running it well in production is different: JVM memory and control-flow limits, PostGIS connection pools, tile caching strategy, raster pyramids, security rules and styles that render efficiently. Most problems we are asked to fix come from defaults that were never meant for production traffic.
Teams typically bring in a GeoServer developer in one of three situations. A new geoportal or WebGIS needs a server that is production-ready from day one. An existing instance has grown slow or falls over when usage spikes. Or a GIS team publishes hundreds of layers by hand and wants that work automated through the REST API. We take on all three, as a short engagement or ongoing support.
Our GeoServer work comes from real deployments, including Geoportal IGT-PR for ATR/BPN, Indonesia's Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning, which serves national-scale thematic land data. We regularly deal with large PostGIS tables, multi-gigabyte GeoTIFF and ImageMosaic sources, and access rules that differ across departments, and we document everything so your team can run it after handover.
What our GeoServer developers do
Engage us for a single task or a full map-server build.
Installation & hardening
GeoServer on Tomcat or Docker behind Nginx with HTTPS, secured admin access, sensible logging and production JVM settings.
Production setupData publishing
Layers from PostGIS, GeoPackage, Shapefile, GeoTIFF and ImageMosaic, including SQL views, CRS handling and time dimensions.
Vector & rasterSLD & CSS styling
Thematic symbology, labelling, scale rules and clean-up of QGIS-exported SLD so styles render correctly and quickly.
CartographyGeoWebCache & tuning
Gridsets, seeding and truncation, JVM and control-flow tuning, connection pools and spatial index fixes in PostGIS.
PerformanceSecurity & WFS-T editing
Data and service access rules by role, authentication integration, and transactional WFS for web-based editing.
Access controlREST automation, upgrades & HA
REST API scripting, version upgrades, plugin installation and clustered deployments for high availability.
OperationsGeoServer tasks we handle every week
A sample of the hands-on work clients hire us for.
- WMS, WFS, WMTS and WCS configuration with proper service metadata
- ImageMosaic and overviews for large satellite and drone imagery
- Automated GeoWebCache seeding and truncation after data updates
- JVM heap, control-flow and request limits to prevent overload
- Data access rules by workspace, layer and role
- WFS-T editing from OpenLayers, Leaflet or QGIS clients
- REST API scripts to create workspaces, stores, layers and styles in bulk
- Plugins such as vector tiles, CSS styling, importer and monitoring
- Clustered GeoServer behind a load balancer for high availability
- Log analysis and profiling to pinpoint slow requests and errors
Who hires our GeoServer developers
From national geoportals to internal enterprise map servers.
Government geoportals
Agencies publishing open or restricted spatial data through standards-compliant OGC services.
Struggling production servers
Organisations whose GeoServer slows down or crashes under real-world traffic.
Imagery providers
Teams serving large drone orthophotos and satellite imagery as fast tiled layers.
Agriculture & forestry
Plantation and forestry companies publishing concessions, blocks and analysis results to internal dashboards.
Web-based data editing
Projects that need field or office staff to edit features over the web via WFS-T.
Software vendors
Product teams that need a GeoServer specialist to back up their own developers on mapping features.
GeoServer and PostGIS expertise in one team
Many GeoServer problems are really database or client problems in disguise.
Whole-stack diagnosis
We look at GeoServer, PostGIS and the web client together. Slow layers are often fixed with a query or index change rather than more hardware.
National-scale experience
We helped build Geoportal IGT-PR for ATR/BPN, serving thematic land data across Indonesia. Large datasets and many users are familiar territory.
Remote and transparent
We work in English under NDA, with GMT+7 hours overlapping APAC fully and EU mornings. Every change is documented and configuration can be kept under version control.
