A big thank you to #GeospatialRiskSummit for hosting the Tech Workshops yesterday! Matt Forrest led a great workshop on flood analysis, and Daniel Smith presented a fantastic session on cloud-native insurance risk concentration analysis. We truly appreciated everyone who attended and enjoyed meeting so many amazing folks!

Running hundreds of data & AI pipelines daily means juggling complexity and optimization. Sometimes, tech debt lurks in the foundations—like infrastructure. Here's how we tackled it: 1️⃣ Python Upgrade: Recent Python versions bring speed improvements, especially for threaded and concurrent workloads. A quick win for runtime reductions! 2️⃣ AWS Graviton: Switching to Graviton (7th gen, -7gd- series) delivered significant performance gains for our memory-intensive pipelines 3️⃣ Wherobots for Geospatial: BigQuery was our go-to for massive spatial joins and geometry processing—until Wherobots. Their solution runs 80% faster on billion-scale workloads and is now in production! If you're tackling geospatial or infrastructure-level optimization, these could be worth exploring. #DataEngineering #Optimization #GeospatialData #TechDebt

Analyzing flood extent during a flood event can be very challenging when most events are driven by rain and imagery with cloud cover. Join Matt Forrest at the Geospatial Risk Summit for a tech workshop, where he’ll use data from sensors in rivers and streams around the United States to create a real-time analysis of potentially flooded areas, incorporating elevation drainage data for the entire nation, which can be updated as frequently as needed. https://lnkd.in/gvqFntRE #GeospatialRiskSummit

For those recovering and responding to the SoCal wildfires, our hearts go out to you. Several team members from our engineering group are based in the area. It's been so sad to see it all unfold. This past fall, Daniel Smith prepared a wildfire risk analysis as part of a workshop he delivered. Unbeknownst to him, it was quite accurate in predicting the potential origins of these terrible fires. They were prepared and made available on our community tier (so can be done for free just by signing up). You can get the original analysis from the workshop deck here: bit.ly/geo-risk-analysis Also, thank you to Bill Eerdmans for sharing in the comments of Daniel's post: Wildfire Recovery Fund: https://lnkd.in/g7C3C6An Fire Department supplies: https://lnkd.in/gHVjpiGi
I've been watching the devastation in California unfold. As homes, businesses, and schools are destroyed my heart goes out to all those effected. In September 2024, I wrote a workshop for Wherobots at the Spatial Data Science Conference around fire risk in Southern California. We calculated several weighted normalized risk factors including burn probability statistics, building density and count, and distance nearest fire station. On top of the risk mapping, Apache Sedona contains the Getis Ord G* statistics for calculating Hot and Cold spots. When I overlay the current fire perimeters on my analysis looks pretty spot on. Amazing how well even naive spatial analysis and statistics can accurately describe our world 😉. Blue to Red == Low to High Z score; High Z-scores especially in the areas around the perimeter have P-Values less than .05
