Hi Andrea,
Your comment is appreciated. You also hit the nail on the head with your guess: we’re dealing with sensors attached to machinery along municipal road network. At first we’ll have, let’s say thousands of updates per minute. Postgis is already our current solution, we’ve just not yet configured it with Geoserver to handle near real time data (disabling caching for layers “real time layers” and so on, I guess).
Still, we might later on incorporate larger data sources, and hit that very big data. This issue isn’t burning on our hands as of already now, we’re just making necessary steps in order to find the best backend design for v2 of our web map services.
Thanks again for everyone who commented. You’re doing great work for the community.
Best regards,
Ville Koivisto

Hi Ville,
I believe you should also provide some more info on your use case, like, are you dealing with a lot of
data, do you maybe also have create on the fly aggregates out of it, or maybe out of streams of data, and the like?
If so, GeoWave/GeoMesa seem to fit your use case.
But if instead you’re just dealing with a smaller number of datasets (e.g., the buses over a city, a company’s trucks on a road network)
and you just need to do a few updates a minute (e.g. thousands) then maybe a more modest postgis storage is all you need
Cheers
Andrea

Hi all,
Thank you for your answers, and sorry for my delayed one. I got struck with a sudden spike of work.
Our needs are yet to be defined more accurately. Let’s say that our ideal solution would handle importing and displaying near real-time data (let’s say updating once a minute), would be open source and would have a plug in for Geoserver (or some other way of serving OGC standards).
As far as I’ve understood for now, on paper both Geomesa and Geowave satisfy the above.
Any other recommendations or perhaps materials we could take a look at, before we dwell further into this? I don’t seem to find too much info when googling about geoserver with real time data…
Thanks again,

GeoWave also advertises support for GeoServer (https://locationtech.github.io/geowave/userguide.html#geoserver-2)
Best is an impossible question to answer though – it depends on your precise needs. If your needs are proprietary and real time, perhaps WFS is not going to be a good fit.

Dear list,
If you’re willing I would like to hear your thoughts about the best alternative for serving real time data with Geoserver. I’ve searched info from different forums and so far I’m thinking Geomesa integrated to Geoserver would be the go-to solution (https://www.geomesa.org/).
Can anyone share any experiences with Geomesa for producing a proprietary web map service for clients needing real time data? Any other alternatives for Geomesa that we might want to take a look at?
Best regards,
Ville Koivisto
