I think this is part of a broader trend of geospatial data just becoming easier to work with. DuckDB is great for quick ad hoc stuff, but I find polars to be easier to maintain. Personally, I'm really excited for polars to (eventually) add true geospatial support. In the meantime, creating a custom h3 plugin only took a couple days and it simplified massive parts of our old geo pandas / duckdb code. The faster we can completely get rid of geo pandas, the better.

- mettamage 1y agoIs it possible with polars to store data more efficiently than a database though? I work with polars, but I haven't delved too deep into the performance characteristics versus postgres or anything like that.
