Case Study: Google achieves easier, cloud-native spatial data science with CARTO

How Google are collaborating with CARTO to shape the future of GIS & Spatial Data Science

Google was looking to make spatial analysis and GIS more accessible for a wider range of users through its BigQuery enterprise data warehouse, but customers still faced the burden of managing infrastructure and preparing complex geospatial datasets. Google partnered with CARTO to help address these challenges and support spatial data science in a cloud-native way.

CARTO implemented prepared datasets through its Data Observatory, integrated with Google BigQuery so users could analyze spatial data without loading, processing, or preparing it themselves. The result was faster, easier access to ready-to-use geospatial assets with no time penalty or cost penalties for customers, and Google covered the storage costs to make adoption even simpler.
