Abstract: In 2022, the CDS (Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg, Strasbourg Astronomical Data Center) celebrated the 50th anniversary of its creation. 2022 also marks the 30th anniversary of the start of the Aladin project. The original mission of the project—a sky atlas providing access to reference image surveys, enabling comparison of multi-wavelength data, and cross-identification of sources—still holds strong. It is now fully based on the HiPS (Hierarchical Progressive Survey) format. We want to take the opportunity of this 30th anniversary to provide you with a comprehensive summary of the HiPS ecosystem that CDS and its close partners have built in the last decade, which allows the creation, publication, visualization, and scientific exploitation of HiPS datasets.
