In this chapter, we learned to use WPS to run geospatial processing on your data and return the results to our web app. We installed the WPS plugin on our GeoServer instance, and learned how it works. We used the WPS request builder to create some simple WPS requests. We also explored the process-chaining technique with a more complex example, and integrated the complex WPS request into OpenLayers.
In the next chapter, you'll learn about the technique of tile caching, and how you can harness tile caching to improve the performance of your app.
