[postgis-users] PostGIS verse those in Azure Cloud

[Shaozhong SHI]

I am trying to review the underlying geospatial capability of these systems
as the geospatial capability maturity have been developed unevenly.  I am
interested in the following:

As compared with PostGIS spatial operations, what are the advantages and
disadvantages of various systems in Azure Cloud in terms of supporting
further development.

In my mind and from my experience, PostGIS has a lot of useful underlying
functions that support development of other applications.

My initial glance of what other systems offer in the Azure, the potential
for this is not great.

I would like to find information on this and confirm or reject this
understanding.

Secondary programming/development relies on what the underlying
functionality of a system provides.   Add-on development is based on the
underlying technology offered.  From my experience, PostGIS offers a
versatile range of functions and capability.  This is important to any
other add-on development for forming robust and useful geospatial
applications.

Am I right?

Regards,

David
