[postgis-users] PostGIS verse those in Azure Cloud

[Regina Obe]

Are you right about what? 

 

I still think you need to focus on what exactly you are trying to compare and for who.

 

You are trying to compare apples and oranges is all I see.

 

I don’t think you will find any single review about Azure cloud geospatial offerings, cause it’s a huge landscape.

 

You need to pinpoint more what problem you are trying to solve and who is tasked to solve them.

You need to define exactly what set of Azure geospatial technologies you are talking about.

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

Suprio Ray and Ahmed Eldway are two researchers that do a lot of spatial computation work on big data (Hadoop, Spark, and parallel computation frameworks). In my opinion, PostGIS is a more robust tool for spatial operations. However other tools and platforms can be very good for specific spatial operations.

Geospatial capability has varied maturity in different systems, particular of interest is those in Azure Cloud as compared to PostGIS.

 

Is there any publication on this topic?
