Hi there,
Welcome to the latest edition of the GeoServer Dispatch. This month we’re shipping performance upgrades, sharing spatial optimization strategies, and previewing our next-generation query engine.
🚀 What’s New: Real-Time WFS-T Streaming
We’ve officially deployed WebSocket-powered WFS-T streaming across Professional and Enterprise tiers. This update cuts layer update latency by up to 60% and supports concurrent multi-client writes—ideal for live fleet tracking, IoT sensor networks, and dynamic emergency response mapping.
đź“Š Pro Tip: Optimizing Large Vector Layers
Experiencing slow render times on dense GeoJSON or Shapefile layers? Enable TileCaching with GZIP compression and set minScaleDenominator to match your common zoom levels. Our updated docs now include a step-by-step guide to indexing PostGIS geometries for sub-second spatial queries.
đź“… Mark Your Calendar: GeoServer Dev Summit 2025
Join 500+ GIS developers, cartographers, and infrastructure engineers for a two-day virtual summit. Sessions cover spatial SQL optimization, custom SLD/CSS styling, and migrating legacy MapServer projects to GeoServer 3.x.
