[postgis-users] ArcGIS Online without ArcGIS server

[Marcelo Marques]

Hello,

The answer is "No". ArcGIS Online is not able to connect to a PostGIS
enabled database directly.

ArcGIS Online is a SAS Software As a Service, and you need to store your
data into the *ArcGIS Online Feature Data Store*.

*Data Management in ArcGIS Online* -
https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/data-in-online.htm

*FAQ ArcGIS Online *-
https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/faq.htm

However as mentioned ArcGIS Online allows you to Add a Service from a URL.

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/add-item-from-url.htm

This means if you have an ArcGIS Geodatabase on PostgreSQL you can store
the spatial data with esri st_geometry or with postgis pg_geometry.

Then with ArcGIS Server you can publish a Map Service or Feature Service
using the layer or layers from the PostgreSQL Geodatabase.

Then, you can use the Map Service / Feature Service URL with ArcGIS Online.

The ArcGIS Server VM and PostgreSQL Geodatabase can reside in the Cloud,
e.g. Amazon or Azure.

I hope this clarifies.

Thanks,
