PostGIS Description
PostGIS serves as an extension for the PostgreSQL object-relational database, enhancing its capabilities with spatial features that enable the execution of geographic queries in SQL. Beyond just fundamental location functionalities, it provides a variety of advanced tools and features that are less common in other spatial databases like Oracle Locator/Spatial and SQL Server. Additionally, with PostgreSQL 14, PostGIS can take advantage of the improved GiST building support API, which significantly boosts performance. When compiled with the latest GEOS 3.10.1, users can benefit from enhancements in the ST_MakeValid function along with various speed optimizations, making it a powerful choice for handling spatial data effectively. This ensures that developers and analysts can work with geospatial data in a more efficient and streamlined manner.

Kinetica
A cloud database that can scale to handle large streaming data sets. Kinetica harnesses modern vectorized processors to perform orders of magnitude faster for real-time spatial or temporal workloads. In real-time, track and gain intelligence from billions upon billions of moving objects. Vectorization unlocks new levels in performance for analytics on spatial or time series data at large scale. You can query and ingest simultaneously to take action on real-time events. Kinetica's lockless architecture allows for distributed ingestion, which means data is always available to be accessed as soon as it arrives. Vectorized processing allows you to do more with fewer resources. More power means simpler data structures which can be stored more efficiently, which in turn allows you to spend less time engineering your data. Vectorized processing allows for incredibly fast analytics and detailed visualizations of moving objects at large scale.
