Expert guidance via the APEx Algorithm Support

Technical guidance to turn your code into an interoperable EO service

APEx offers dedicated support to help make your Earth observation (EO) algorithms more reusable, visible, and impactful, even after the project’s lifetime.

The APEx Algorithm Support supports ESA-funded projects in transforming their EO processing algorithms into production-ready, cloud-deployable services. Whether you're developing a new method or aiming to preserve the legacy of a mature algorithm, APEx offers the technical guidance needed to turn your code into a sustainable, interoperable EO service.

Services to improve robustness and long-term impact

Developing EO services can be challenging. How do you optimise performance, package your code for scalable execution, and ensure your service complies with FAIR principles? APEx provides support for:

• Porting your algorithm to openEO or packaging it as an OGC Application Package
• Optimising performance and ensuring scalability for cloud environments
• Deploying your service on existing EO platforms
• Registering your algorithm in the APEx Algorithm Catalogue, making it discoverable and well-documented

• Facilitating onboarding onto the ESA Network of Resources, giving your service a broader reach

   

Tailored support while retaining algorithm ownership

All support is collaborative: you retain full ownership of your algorithm. APEx only provides tools and expertise to improve its technical robustness and long-term impact.

By making your EO algorithm easy to find, run, and evaluate, you open it up to new users and use cases. That means greater visibility, more opportunities for reuse, and a higher return on your project's investment.

Whether you're just getting started with your development or finalising project outputs, you can benefit from the APEx Algorithm Support at any time.
