GeoGirafe 1.0 Release Candidate

A Major Milestone for the Open-Source WebGIS Ecosystem

The WebGIS landscape is evolving quickly. Organizations today expect tools that are open, flexible, scalable, and aligned with modern web standards. That’s exactly the vision behind GeoGirafe, a fully open-source WebGIS platform designed to make spatial data management simpler, more robust, and future-proof.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce a major step toward that vision: the release of the GeoGirafe 1.0 Release Candidate. This milestone brings us closer than ever to the first stable version of the platform.

 

Why GeoGirafe?

GeoGirafe was born from a simple observation: many WebGIS solutions are either too complex to deploy, too rigid to customize, or locked behind proprietary ecosystems. Our goal is to offer a modern alternative that is:

  • 100% open-source, with transparent development;
  • rooted in open standards, ensuring long-term compatibility;
  • modular and flexible, so you can adapt it to your workflows;
  • easy to deploy, whether on a small server or a large-scale infrastructure.

With each iteration, GeoGirafe aims to remove friction, reduce migration pain, and empower teams through better tooling.

 

What’s New in the Release Candidate?

The 1.0 RC is not just a pre-release — it’s a polished, feature-complete version that introduces:

  • A modern architecture, built on proven technologies and designed with performance and scalability in mind;
  • Improved deployment workflows, simplified Docker-based setups, clearer configuration, and smoother upgrade paths;
  • Better standards compliance, enhanced support for OGC standards and modern web frameworks;
  • Stronger developer experience, cleaner APIs, better documentation structure, and tools that make customization easier than ever.

This Release Candidate reflects months of collaboration, testing, refinement, and community-driven improvements.

The Road to a Stable 1.0

The Release Candidate is an invitation for the community to test, experiment, and help polish the platform. Over the next weeks, our focus will be on:

  • addressing priority bugs reported by early adopters,
  • stabilizing core components,
  • improving performance in real-world scenarios,
  • refining documentation and examples.

Our target is clear: deliver a stable and reliable GeoGirafe 1.0 by the end of the year.
