Dutch national land registry and geospatial information authority
Kadaster is the Dutch government agency responsible for registering all real property and delivering geospatial data to notaries, financial institutions, and policymakers. The tech stack is Java/Spring Boot–heavy with Kubernetes orchestration, PostgreSQL, and emerging data tools (Databricks, DataHub, Power BI), signaling a shift from legacy SAP Analytics toward modern analytics infrastructure. Active hiring across engineering, data, and security roles suggests capacity expansion to address stated pain points around data warehouse performance and keeping components current.
Kadaster maintains the official registry of all real property in the Netherlands and delivers over 20 million information products annually to diverse stakeholders including notaries, banks, provincial governments, and citizens. Beyond registration, the agency advises on spatial planning, infrastructure expansion, and environmental matters, and provides technical assistance internationally to countries establishing their own cadastral systems. The organization operates with approximately 1,800 employees and functions as both a transactional registry operator and a policy advisory body to Dutch government.
Kadaster runs Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes for core systems, with Databricks and DataHub for data management. They use Power BI for reporting, SonarQube for code quality, GitHub for version control, and ArgoCD for deployment automation.
Active projects include a digital cadastral map, microservice development for spatial planning (DSO), API-based environmental document validation, migration of SAP Analytics reports to Power BI, and AI/ML application development.
