Tools

We're very much Python powered!

  • rasterio - Reading and writing geospatial data (rasters)
  • shapely - Manipulation and analysis of geometric objects (vectors)
  • fiona - Reading and writing geospatial data (vectors)

The combination of ^ with other standard Python utilities provide a powerful & flexible means of achieving almost any sort of geospatial process you can imagine.

Running at "scale"

In addition to core functionality of the tools themselves, we've spent a lot of time working to optimize them to run well in large batch processing contexts. Typically, AWS infrastructure backs these processes.

Uploading your outputs to Mapbox

Also, Unity!
