    GeoServer is an open-source server software used for managing, sharing, and publishing geographic data and spatial information on the internet. It enables organizations and individuals to create geographic maps, layers, and services that are accessible via the web or through other Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

    GeoServer is written in Java and supports various geographic and geodetic standards, such as Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), and many others. These standards allow users to access geographic data and services, visualize maps, perform spatial analyses, and obtain geographic information for different purposes.

    GeoServer is widely used in the field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and finds applications in many sectors, including public administration, urban planning, transportation, forestry, environmental management, and more. Its open-source nature and ability to integrate with various data formats and standards make it an important tool for managing and providing access to geographic information through web services.

    PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database system used for storing and managing data in database tables. It is one of the most important open-source relational database systems and offers extensive capabilities for data management, querying, and transactions. PostgreSQL supports standard SQL (Structured Query Language) and provides a rich set of features for working with data.

    PostGIS is an extension for PostgreSQL that adds support for working with geographic and spatial data. This extension enables the storage, management, and querying of geographic data within a PostgreSQL database. With PostGIS, it is possible to store geometric data such as point, line, and polygon objects, and to perform various spatial analyses and queries on this data.

    PostGIS provides functions such as precise spatial queries, distance calculations between objects, intersection and union analyses of spatial objects, and many others. The combination of PostgreSQL and PostGIS is a popular tool for managing geographic data and developing Geographic Information Systems (GIS), as it allows for storing, processing, and analyzing complex spatial data alongside traditional data.

    Administration of the database system can be performed using web-based tools that replace desktop applications such as PgAdmin 4 or DBeaver:
