Cloud-native geospatial, range requests, chucks, COGs and COPCs ... [ insert confusing acronym here ]  Sometimes It feels like we need to learn a whole new vocabulary and if you have been doing #geo for a while you might be wondering how much of this is actually going to impact me. What bits of this are the ones that I need to know about?  I don’t think that anyone is going to be talking about cloud native in 10 years, in the same way, no one talks about digital cartography or computer analysis because where else would you do your cartography? And how else would you do your analysis?  Maybe the names won’t be as important but the concepts will and while this episode is focused on Geoparquet it does so within the context of cloud-native geospatial - and this concept is not going away!    You can connect with Kyle Barron here https://x.com/kylebarron2 or here https://kylebarron.dev/     If you want to learn more about cloud-native geospatial I can highly recommend these episodes   https://mapscaping.com/podcast/cloud-optimized-point-clouds/ https://mapscaping.com/podcast/introduction-to-cloud-native-geospatial/ https://mapscaping.com/podcast/planet-scale-tiled-maps-without-a-server/ https://mapscaping.com/podcast/what-is-modern-gis/ https://mapscaping.com/podcast/the-planetary-computer/   I am working on a new project called https://quickmaptools.com/ like the name suggests it is a bunch of browser-based map tools. So far we have created several different conversion tools and will continue to add more to the list. Check it and let me know what you think!
