NEO WMS (Web Mapping Service) Deprecation Alert
August 30th, 2024 by Kevin Ward
At some point in late 2024/early 2025 we will be decommissioning the NEO Web Mapping Service (WMS). The WMS has become challenging for us to maintain, and the level of effort required to either revise our platform or move it to a different hosting application is just too great. We are going to continue to maintain the NEO website and its collection of imagery (and keep up with the processing of new imagery) but that will primarily consist of the website and the global archive.
I will be working to develop a list of other WMS endpoints that serve up the same, or nearly the same, layers soon and will provide that information on our news page and through our subscriber list. I encourage you to subscribe to our list to keep aware of the upcoming changes.
Lastly, if you are a WMS user and have any experience or knowledge regarding best practices for redirecting WMS layers, I would be interested to hear from you. The WMS specification addresses redirects only in a way that attempts to provide the exact same layer on a different server (which I understand). Perhaps I will just have to return a generic error message once we deactivate the WMS.
