Upgrading our Core Platform to PostgreSQL 11`
The global datasphere is expected to expand by 10x from 2018 to 2025, driven by the creation and sharing of large amounts of data. To keep pace with this growth, technology must advance to store and transform data into information efficiently. CARTO's platform is built on top of PostgreSQL, providing users with full control over their data. The company will be upgrading its software stack to PostgreSQL 11 and PostGIS 2.5 to meet increasing performance needs, introducing improvements in stability, security, and performance. These advancements enable larger database handling, improved geospatial indexing, and enhanced Mapbox vector tile generation, making it easier to scale spatial tables and generate tiles with complex polygons more efficiently. The upgrade aligns with CARTO's commitment to open source and Postgres, creating value for customers and the tech community while driving innovation in Location Intelligence solutions.
