About the presentation

The economics of producing, distributing and consuming data products is in need of disruption. They either place undue burden on the producers who maintain the datasets or force technical hassles onto consumers. The pain is especially acute in the global market for vessel traffic data.

TileDB Cloud changes data economics entirely, with a new model that works for everyone in the marketplace. In this presentation, TileDB partner Spire Maritime (previously exactEarth, now part of Spire Global) shared their experience making their precise AIS vessel tracking data available for sale on TileDB Cloud, and the efficiencies they have gained by maintaining only one copy of their data products inside a powerful analytics platform, eliminating the need for downloads or building and maintaining a costly data infrastructure.

In this comprehensive presentation of AIS data analytics on TileDB Cloud, you will learn how to:

• Discover and scale collaborative analyses through TileDB Cloud data sharing, without large downloads and complex IAM hassles
• Directly compute on cloud-based 2D and 3D sparse arrays of AIS data
• Scale time-series analysis beyond many TBs
• Query using native lat-lon coordinates across multiple dimensions
• Efficiently analyze rich vessel metadata from Spire Maritime by using TileDB's columnar format for array attributes
• Use your favorite tools via hosted geospatial notebook environments
• Extend track analysis beyond notebooks using TileDB’s JavaScript API and render visualizations as dashboards
• Launch a marketplace for data and code using TileDB Cloud’s governance and secure payment infrastructure
