This latest release of the Crunchy Bridge for
Analytics tool for querying data lakes using Postgres, simplifies
and accelerates spatial data analytics.
Charleston, S.C., Sept. 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Crunchy Data — the leading
provider of trusted open source Postgres technology and products,
today announces the latest release of Crunchy Bridge for Analytics,
providing enhanced spatial data analytics capabilities, making it
one of the easiest-to-use and most powerful platforms for working
with geospatial data.
Today's release extends Crunchy Data's fully managed Postgres
and PostGIS service, providing spatial data consumers with an
optimized hybrid query engine and additional developer-friendly
benefits. The new hybrid engine brings together the rich
capabilities of PostGIS with modern analytical query processing
benefits such as vectorized execution and parallelism. Crunchy
Bridge for Analytics is optimized to use the most beneficial query
engine available based on the user query and underlying data
structure, giving users the best of Postgres and an embedded
analytical query engine. Further, by extending Postgres and PostGIS
to natively query a variety of cloud-native spatial data formats
directly from remote S3 storage or public web servers, users can
efficiently access a variety of public spatial data sets, including
Overture Maps data, all the while benefiting from lower cost
storage options.
"With Crunchy Bridge for Analytics we've seen customers address
their OLAP-style workloads that were previously out of reach for
Postgres, without the need to migrate their data to a separate data
warehouse, reducing both cost and complexity," said Craig Kerstiens, Crunchy Data Chief Product
Officer. "Expanding Crunchy Bridge for Analytics spatial data
support further extends Postgres as a data platform evolving it
beyond simply a relational database."
Initially released in April 2024,
Crunchy Bridge for Analytics gives users the ability to accelerate
analytical queries through its hybrid parallel query engine. By
combining the ability to natively query Iceberg tables or Parquet
files where they live with Crunchy Bridge's saved queries, built-in
connection pooling, VPC, and container apps, Crunchy Bridge for
Analytics extends the benefits of Crunchy Data's fully managed
cloud Postgres service to analytic workloads.
Crunchy Bridge users can provision Crunchy Bridge for Analytics
clusters directly from their existing Crunchy Bridge accounts. To
