# Introduction

The Flo.w ecosystem is an end-to-end solution for developing responsive, interactive geospatial applications.
Use Flo.w to build:
- Asset tracking applications.
- Vehicle fleet management systems.
- Environmental monitoring systems.
- Smart building and smart city solutions.
- Digital twins.
This documentation is divided into three sections covering the main components of the ecosystem:
# Flo.w Engine
Flo.w Engine is the the core of the Flo.w ecosystem. It is a geospatial data server that provides:
- Geospatial data upload and storage
- Dataset management
- Dataset querying
- High-performance map tile generation
# Flo.w RDF
Flo.w RDF is a framework for building Flo.w web applications. It supports a declarative style of programming that allows a developer to build interactive geospatial web applications powered by the Flo.w ecosystem.
Flo.w RDF provides:
- A collection of UI web components including maps, charts and data tables for building geospatial visualizations and dashboards.
- A JavaScript API for managing application state and Flo.w Engine data queries.
# Flo.w Real-Time
Flo.w Real-Time adds real-time data processing and analysis functionality to Flo.w Engine. Features include:
- High-performance real-time data ingest.
- A graphical interface for designing real-time data processing and analysis pipelines.
- Low-level libraries for implementing data processing microservices.
