pgFaaS: Geo-Processing made simple with Serverless technology

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

A serverless platform wraps user functions as Docker containers via OpenFaaS, exposing a REST API and simple UI to run SQL-driven geoprocessing against a PostGIS database of over 4,000 datasets. Functions run with CPU/RAM/time limits, read-only single-schema DB access, no arbitrary package installs, and can be synchronous or asynchronous. Live examples include clipping OpenStreetMap for New Caledonia, returning the seven nearest bus stops and computing the five shortest routes between nodes, intended for app-level spatial queries rather than large batch analytics.
