Supported Platforms
This section provides an overview of APEx-compliant algorithm hosting environments based on the APEx interoperability and compliance guidelines. The list includes platforms available for each APEx-compliant technology, along with recommendations for environments that support the development process of APEx-compliant services.
Throughout the project, APEx aims to expand this list of compliant platforms, offering users the flexibility to choose their preferred platform.
openEO User Defined Processes
An openEO UDP can be developed in any openEO-based environment using existing openEO tools. APEx can support development activities by providing projects with access to its Code Server and JupyterLab IDE solutions. For testing the UDP, we recommend utilising an APEx-compliant hosting platform. This ensures platform compatibility and facilitates the deployment of your UDP as an on-demand service. Currently, APEx as identified the following platforms as compliant with the APEx guidelines:
OGC Earth Observation Application Package (EOAP) processes
To develop and test an OGC Earth Observation Application Package, you can use one of the following environments, which include the necessary tools and basic infrastructure to support the development process:
OGC API - Processes
To offer your algorithm as an on-demand processing service, exposed via an “OGC API - Processes” standard interface, the following platforms are compliant with the APEx guidelines:
If your platform meets the APEx Interoperability and Compliance Guidelines, and you have onboarded your platform to the ESA Network of Resources (or plan to do that), we encourage you to reach out to the APEx team to get it added to the list.
