Are you right about what? 

 

I still think you need to focus on what exactly you are trying to compare and 
for who.

 

You are trying to compare apples and oranges is all I see.

 

I don’t think you will find any single review about Azure cloud geospatial 
offerings, cause it’s a huge landscape.

 

You need to pinpoint more what problem you are trying to solve and who is 
tasked to solve them.

You need to define exactly what set of Azure geospatial technologies you are 
talking about.

Subject: Re: [postgis-users] PostGIS verse those in Azure Cloud

 

I am trying to review the underlying geospatial capability of these systems as 
the geospatial capability maturity have been developed unevenly.  I am 
interested in the following:

 

As compared with PostGIS spatial operations, what are the advantages and 
disadvantages of various systems in Azure Cloud in terms of supporting further 
development.

 

In my mind and from my experience, PostGIS has a lot of useful underlying 
functions that support development of other applications.

 

My initial glance of what other systems offer in the Azure, the potential for 
this is not great.

 

I would like to find information on this and confirm or reject this 
understanding.

 

Secondary programming/development relies on what the underlying functionality 
of a system provides.   Add-on development is based on the underlying 
technology offered.  From my experience, PostGIS offers a versatile range of 
functions and capability.  This is important to any other add-on development 
for forming robust and useful geospatial applications.

 

Am I right?

 

Regards,

 

David

Suprio Ray and Ahmed Eldway are two researchers that do a lot of spatial 
computation work on big data (Hadoop, Spark, and parallel computation 
frameworks). In my opinion, PostGIS is a more robust tool for spatial 
operations. However other tools and platforms can be very good for specific 
spatial operations.

Geospatial capability has varied maturity in different systems, particular of 
interest is those in Azure Cloud as compared to PostGIS.

 

Is there any publication on this topic?
