One catalogue

Your data, organized
around your workflow.

Your entire geospatial data, unified in one place.

The ALIGN Datastore: its menu (My Datastore, folders, favorites, shared with me, published OGC services, exports, bin) and the table of items with their formats, type, size, use, dates and sharing

Sharing

Share with the right people

Four levels, and ALIGN warns you before a change breaks a published map.

Connects to your data where it already lives.

Deploy a PostgreSQL database in seconds, stream OGC services, or import cloud-native files straight from any URL: everything lands in your Datastore, typed and ready to map.

Every layer in your Datastore exposed back as OGC API services: Features · Tiles · Maps, via pygeoapi, ready to be consumed by any OGC-compliant client.

Open formats, from the first upload

No proprietary format and no lock-in. Download your items and use them anywhere.

Cloud-native by default

Stored in open formats built for the web, fast to stream and readable everywhere.
