Evaluation of the response time of a geoservice using a hybrid and distributed database.

Web mapping services provide information directly to users and other software programs that can consume and produce information. One of the main challenges this type of service presents is improving its performance. Therefore, in this research, a new geoservice integrated into GeoServer was developed, called GeoToroTur, with an OWS implementation of vector layers that consumes the information from a hybrid and distributed database that was implemented with PostgreSQL and MongoDB, making use of ToroDB for document replication. This geoservice was evaluated by executing geographic and descriptive attribute filter queries. Based on the results, we can conclude that the response time for GeoToroTur is shorter than that for Geoserver.
