Right-sizing STAC — Development Seed A new way to query geospatial metadata without the overhead.

New @developmentseed.org blog post from myself and @zacdezgeo.github.io: developmentseed.org/blog/2025-05...

Cloud-Native Geospatial isn't just for data, it's for metadata too

Thanks, are there any algorithms in particular?

In github.com/OSGeo/gdal/p... big chunks of OpenCL were deemed not worth the maintenance effort. I’m hopeful there’s a smaller core that is worth it.

I share @rabernat.bsky.social excitement about icechunk!!! On top of delivering 100x performance, it can make impossible tasks possible.

Why am I so excited to endorse #icechunk and #virtualizarr?

Doing it from the DB is going to be fastest, but if the API does anything to the STAC items on the way out, you either lose that or have to replicate it. But I’m guessing the PC was an outlier there, with how much we added at the API layer

Thanks! It feels a bit Sisyphean given everything else going on, but oh well.

You subscribe to the Economist right? I’m trying to figure out a way to stay on top of things without getting overwhelmed daily.

Spatial indexes, and RTrees specifically, are at the core of geospatial software.

But ever wondered how an RTree is actually implemented?

In this post we’ll dive into the implementation of Flatbush, an elegant, blazing-fast, memory-efficient RTree.

Rust and geospatial Rust can be useful for building geospatial systems, but it's not a silver bullet.

@gadom.ski www.gadom.ski/posts/rust-a... was a nice read. Any chance you could (re)add RSS to your site? If I'm reading www.getzola.org/documentatio... right, `generate_feeds = true` in your config should do the trick :)
