Create APIs from PostgreSQL under 20 minutes

In this talk, we will introduce PostgREST, a powerful open-source tool that can dramatically simplify the creation of custom PostGIS functions. PostgREST provides a RESTful API over a PostgreSQL database, enabling developers to quickly expose database functions as web services with minimal effort. This approach not only accelerates development but also promotes data accessibility and integration into modern web and mobile applications. During the presentation, we will explore the key features of PostgREST and demonstrate how to leverage its capabilities to create PostGIS functions within minutes. 

Attendees will learn how to:

• Set up PostgREST to work with PostgreSQL databases.
• Expose and document PostGIS functions as RESTful APIs effortlessly.
• Enhance data security and access control through PostgREST's authentication and authorization mechanisms.
• Leverage PostgREST's scalability for handling high-demand geospatial applications.
