Spatial SQL at Scale
Show us how you push millions of geometries through complex pipelines. Share your query tuning tricks, spatial indexing optimizations, partitioning strategies, and high-speed ingestion hacks.
Spatial AI, Vectors & Semantics
Where location data meets AI. Share how you're pairing PostGIS spatial indexes with pgvector, building AI agents that write and execute spatial SQL, or enabling semantic search over map features.
Cloud-Native & Lakehouse Spatial
Bridging PostGIS with the modern data stack. Case studies on GeoParquet, Apache Iceberg, cloud rasters, and using PostGIS as a high-performance connector to object storage and analytical engines.
Map Tiling, Routing & WebGIS
Deep dives into fast dynamic vector tile generation, topology management, custom pgRouting implementations, and seamless integrations with modern GIS tools.
Practical Field Stories
Real production post-mortems, enterprise migrations, urban planning systems, or disaster-response platforms where PostGIS serves as the bedrock.
