I think the position of the article is “if you’re just making a web app with some dots on a map, you’re not doing ‘real spatial analysis’”. I basically agree with the post because I found myself in a similar position a few years ago. I inherited a map with dots on it, and I thought “oh, I need to move this to PostGIS.” But it turned out to be overkill. I wasn’t using any geometries, and I didn’t even need distances from a radius. I was just showing events by location, time, and type. Two columns for latitude and longitude were more than enough.
