As the world becomes increasingly connected and data-driven, the demand for scalable, efficient, and interoperable geospatial solutions has never been higher. We’re entering a new era where cloud-native technologies are reshaping how we store, process, and analyze spatial data. This revolution is enabling unprecedented levels of performance, flexibility, and collaboration.At the heart of this transformation are open table formats, which provide a powerful foundation for geospatial data management in the cloud. These formats allow us to harness the full potential of cloud-native environments, offering enhanced performance, seamless integration, and the ability to scale with ease. By embracing these open standards, we’re not just improving our workflows-we’re paving the way for a more open, accessible, and innovative future for geospatial data.During Ib's session, we’ll explore how the convergence of cloud-native architectures and open table formats is revolutionizing the geospatial landscape. We’ll delve into the key technologies driving this change, discuss best practices for implementing them, and highlight real-world use cases that demonstrate their impact.
