What you can do with TASTEGEO

OGC services
WMS maps, feature info and legends, WFS queries and transactions, WMTS tiles and WCS coverages, handled at the public HTTP boundary. All are partial support under verification.
REST catalogue
Manage the catalogue (workspaces, stores, layers and so on) and service settings through REST. When enabled, state is saved to a file, and if it becomes corrupted the last good copy is restored.
Store adapters
PostGIS, GeoPackage, Shapefile and GeoTIFF (including COG) sit behind versioned boundaries. Protocol code is not tied directly to any particular store.
Comparison with a reference server
The same request is sent to the reference server and to TASTEGEO, and XML, features, geometry and OGC errors are normalised and compared; rasters are matched against golden images.
Rendering and tile cache
Draws maps with styles applied, and keeps a tile cache aligned with WMTS matrix sets.
Coordinate systems and filters
Coordinate system transformation and OGC filters are handled in a foundation layer independent of the store.

Good for

Running WMS and WFS map services from a single executable without a JVM
Sending the same requests to a production GeoServer and checking the differences in responses
Diagnosing an existing data_dir read-only and preparing to migrate it
Publishing PostGIS and GeoPackage data as OGC services
