FastAPI-mapserver is the service layer that ties together raster ingestion, OGC publishing, background processing, caching, terrain generation, and HySpex catalog workflows in one operational stack.

This project is not just a FastAPI wrapper around a few endpoints. It is the control plane around GeoTIFF datasets, MapServer and MapCache, Celery workers, Redis-backed job state, a built-in frontend, and terrain products that need to stay aligned across API, storage, and deployment.
