Case Study: Spatially achieves rapid, terabyte-scale location analytics for SMBs with Crate.io's CrateDB

Spatially Chooses CrateDB for Location Analytics

Spatially, a location intelligence software provider, needed a database that could ingest and analyze terabytes of geospatial marketing and advertising data so SMBs could make better site‑selection and ad placement decisions. After finding Postgres, DataStax Enterprise and Cassandra unable to meet its scale or spatial‑query needs, Spatially chose Crate.io and its CrateDB product to power analysis of its Localgraphics™ datasets.

Crate.io implemented CrateDB to run Spatially’s data pipeline and SaaS platform, enabling data scientists to query tens of terabytes of census, transit, traffic and device‑tracking data with SQL and tools like Python, R and Spark/EMR. The deployment delivered rapid, terabyte‑scale ingestion and spatial analytics for customer‑facing insights, and Spatially plans to scale CrateDB further to handle hundreds of terabytes.
