Esri showcased upcoming features for the next release of SingleStore at their Developers Summit in Palm Springs, using a large real-world geospatial dataset, such as the "Taxistats" NYC taxi ride compilation. Esri is the dominant player in the GIS market, and SingleStore aims to make geospatial data a first-class citizen, comparable to other types of data. The demonstration used heatmaps to visualize aggregate geospatial data and showed how simple queries can be performed on the data, leveraging features like GEOGRAPHY_INTERSECTS. This technology has real-world use cases for cities planners and taxi businesses, enabling them to optimize traffic flow and improve efficiency. SingleStore combines geospatial data with relational SQL capabilities in a single database that is in-memory, linearly scalable, and supports a full range of functions.
