GeoServer Cloud adds GeoParquet data source support: #GeoServer Cloud 2.27.0.0, a cloud-native, microservices-based version of GeoServer, now supports #GeoParquet DataStores, expanding its compatibility with modern #cloudnative geospatial formats alongside #FlatGeoBuf and Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF...

Built a webmap to generate random geodata with export to #Geopackage #FlatGeobuf #CSV #GeoJSON or #PGDump
Besides #wgs84 (latitude/longitude) all #UTM projections are supported dynamically by location
Thanks to #GDAL #WebAssembly this works completely in the browser and does not require server processing

I lost a lot of productivity this year to the assumption that Esri tools would operate consistently, have their basic functions tested, and actually work out of the box.
2024 is gonna be the year we start the Great FOSS Migration, building out some #MapLibre or #OpenLayers pages for the public, non-editable stuff, using file-based data layers like #flatgeobuf and home-grown vector tiles.
Gonna be quite the undertaking!
New post on performance benchmarking 
in #MapServer between #Shapefile and #FlatGeoBuf

@jeremy probably yes, @kylebarron would know more. Other options are #flatgeobuf or vector tiles, optionally packaged as #pmtiles file.
https://guide.cloudnativegeo.org/ offers a great overview about #cloud #geospatial formats like #COG or #FlatGeoBuf #gischat

>FlatGeobuf is a performant binary encoding for geographic data that works well as a “cloud native” lossless format for vector data.

I found that #flatgeobuf is also a good replacement for geojson if you're streaming large datasets.
Hmm 
disappointing state of affairs!!
Then again, not all data formats can be (are!) as cutting-edge as yours truly

#FlatGeobuf is an efficient #geodata format.
FlatGeobuf is based on flatbuffers, using the concept to encode standard Simple Features used in common #GIS systems, including #OSM, in binary. FlatGeobuf strikes a balance between speed and size, making it useful for both storage and live usage. FlatGeobuf supports several languages, including #Cpp, #JavaScript, #Java, and #Rust.
