Architecture & Technology

The solution architecture is divided into the following components:

• GeoNode Cloud Core: Contains the foundational infrastructure elements of GeoNode in the cloud.
• GeoNode Cloud Mapstore Client: Provides the user interface for map visualization and manipulation.
• RabbitMQ: A message broker that facilitates asynchronous communication between services.
• GeoServer Cloud: Manages and publishes geospatial data.
• Postgres with PostGIS extension: A relational database that allows spatial data storage and querying.
• Nginx: A web server and load balancer.
• Flower: A Celery task monitor.

The GeoNode Cloud Core component includes the following main technologies for its operation:

• Django Framework
• Memcached
• GeoNode Import
• pyCSW
• Celery
• GeoServer App Django - ACL Capability

The architecture is based on a microservices approach, with plans to gradually decompose components currently within the monolithic Django setup into separate microservices.
