Building a Sustainable Geospatial Stack with Elixir
summary
University lab replaces a Python-heavy stack with Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView to run a cloud-native datacube portal and a production STAC API, integrating GeoServer for raster serving and orchestrating hundreds of map layers via REST. Map visualization uses MapLibre and LiveView-driven pages to avoid a full SPA. Deliverable is a working interactive map platform and automated layer onboarding that reduces deployment complexity and scales to large environmental datasets.
