SaaS Drone Geomapping

A SaaS platform for drone service providers: customers upload imagery, backend processes orthomosaics/DSMs via cloud workers, results delivered through interactive maps with measurement tools. Includes billing, team management, and white-label options.

Drone service providers need scalable processing and client delivery — but building orthomosaic pipelines, measurement tools, and multi-tenancy from scratch is months of work.

The repository evidence points to these observable boundaries and technologies:

• Next.js 15 multi-tenant frontend
• PostgreSQL + Prisma for org/projects/data
• Cloud worker queue (BullMQ/Redis) for processing
• GDAL/PDAL for orthomosaic generation
• Mapbox GL JS / MapLibre for visualization
• Stripe for billing subscriptions

• Org/workspace/project hierarchy with RBAC
• Imagery upload → processing queue → results
• Orthomosaic/DSM generation via GDAL pipelines
• Interactive map with area/volume measurement
• Client portal with branded deliverables
• Subscription billing with usage metering

• GDAL/PDAL in cloud containers (size, licensing)
• Large file upload/resumable processing
• Multi-tenant data isolation with Prisma
• Map rendering performance for 100MP+ orthos

• Multi-tenant auth and data isolation working
• Processing queue with status tracking
• Map visualization with measurement tools
• Stripe subscription flow integrated

Geospatial SaaS is heavy on infrastructure. Consider managed processing (AWS/GCP) over self-hosted GDAL. MapLibre + PMTiles scales better than raw GeoTIFF.
