Summary

CARTO Workflows is a no code spatial analysis tool that enables analysts of all skill levels and backgrounds to leverage geospatial data and spatial analysis using the power of geo-enabled data warehouses and databases. It allows users to access geospatial analytics running in a cloud-native environment for the first time, giving them control and power similar to writing SQL themselves through a visual interface. The tool can be used with various data sources, including remote files that update each time the workflow is run, allowing users to visualize data and results at each node along the way. Workflows offers a wide range of analytical and data processing functionality, including geospatial functions such as spatial joins & filters, clustering and creating isolines, and tools to leverage Spatial Indexes like H3 and Quadbin. The tool is now available in public beta, with support for popular databases and data warehouses like CARTO Data Warehouse, Google Cloud BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, and PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
