Tech Talk - Using SingleStore as a Geospatial Database

In the modern data-intensive era, geospatial data enables companies in various industries to analyze data and predict the next steps for their business operations. 

Whether it's ride-sharing companies optimizing their routes, or government agencies providing recommendations on public safety, or organizations tracking their supply chain in real-time, geospatial data is mission-critical.

SingleStore is a multi-model database that can support diverse data types including Relational, Key-Value, JSON, Full-Text Search, Geospatial, and Time Series data.

This Tech Talk will feature Akmal Chaudhri, Senior Technical Evangelist at SingleStore, who will showcase a demo on how to use SingleStore to ingest, process, and analyze geospatial data. 

As part of this interactive talk and demo, you will learn:

• How to load Geospatial data into SingleStore; we will deep-dive with data from a major global city and its subway system
• How to use SingleStore's built-in Geospatial functions to query data
• How to find the shortest path between two Geospatial points in a network
• How to quickly build visualizations for Geospatial data stored in SingleStore using Folium and Streamlit
