Geospatial Data Engineering & Analytics On Databricks

Описание: Most organizations capture huge volumes of spatial data, including addresses, coordinates, routes, and catchments, but struggle to operationalize it at scale. Traditional GIS (Geographic Information Systems) tools are powerful but isolated; unlocking value requires integrating spatial analytics directly within your data platform.
In this session, we’ll cover:
Geospatial fundamentals on Databricks: understanding geometry vs. geography, coordinate systems, and H3 grids.
Scaling challenges: Combining spatial and business data, processing millions of coordinates efficiently, and maintaining real-time freshness.
Databricks capabilities: How Spatial SQL, Lakeflow, and Unity Catalog enable native spatial processing, federated access, and governed sharing across teams.
Applied use cases: From network optimisation to asset tracking and location-based insights across industries.
We'll finish with a 2 live demos, see how raw coordinates become actionable intelligence within the Lakehouse, Felt in action as well.
This session will be delivered by Unifeye's CDO and Databricks Champion Bianca Stratulat, and Senior Data Engineers, Jordan Begg and Hasnat Abdul.
Special Guest: Josh Brammal, Databricks Solution Architect
