Spatial data powers some of the world’s most innovative apps and services, letting you answer questions like, “Where’s the nearest gas station?” and “How long will it take for my ride-sharing vehicle to arrive?” and even, “Where can I catch a Pokémon?” And in this video we'll show you how to build a spatial data application.
CockroachDB is the first SQL database to build spatial data functionality from the ground up for a distributed environment. This means you can now effortlessly scale your spatial data and have the confidence it will survive outages.
In this episode of the Cockroach hour, we will cover:
• Geometry and Geography types
• Spatial Indexing
• PostGIS-compatible built-ins and functions
• Complete tech stack for building a spatial data application
• Live demo of a rolling upgrade with no downtime
