Geospatial Validations Using FastAPI and PostGIS

Explore geospatial data integration in web application backends through this PyCon US talk. Learn how geospatial data differs from other types, its common formats, and crucial aspects like spatial reference identifiers. Discover PostGIS, an open-source PostgreSQL extension for spatial datatypes, functions, and indexes. Examine an example FastAPI application leveraging Pydantic and SQLAlchemy with GeoAlchemy 2 to implement custom geospatial validations for inbound requests. Gain insights into leveraging geodata beyond typical analysis and visualization toolchains, focusing on simpler supporting roles in web applications.
