Sessions
We present recent developments in the xcube ecosystem motivated by its involvement in the Open Earth Monitor project, focusing on xcube server processing facilities and integration into scalable cloud workflows. We describe xcube server's established and newly-implemented API implementations and processing facilities, with particular attention to OGC API – Processes, openEO, the relationship to the eozilla processing framework, and applicability to Open Earth Monitor science use cases. These capabilities are complemented by further developments in the associated xcengine package, which converts Jupyter notebooks into EO application packages. With these developments, xcube, eozilla, and xcengine provide a powerful and versatile toolkit for developing and deploying EO workflows, both locally and in the cloud.
