  • For geodata storage: PostgreSQL/PostGIS. django.contrib.gis provides native support, plus the geos, geopy libraries for distance calculations and more.
  • To interact with the front-end - Django REST Framework with third-party modules that provide it with understanding gis fields.
  • For drawing maps on the front end: the Leaflet js library using freely available layers (google maps or open street map) and its own code, interacting with the back end through the aforementioned API.
