We revisit the question: is Zarr the new COG?

Reflecting on five-plus years of building Cirrus, Element 84’s data orchestration framework, three core lessons emerge that apply to software projects generally: follow the money to understand what drives development, expect the pendulum of overcorrection…

Cirrus, Element 84’s open-source data orchestration framework, recently turned five years old — and we’ve rebuilt it at least three times along the way.

When configured equivalently, COG and Zarr store the exact same data bytes.

What happens if we question current assumptions around Cloud-Native Geospatial (CNG) and imagine what it could be if we were to redefine it with new technologies?

Back from the dead with a new look and a new domain!

Compression is a fundamental and increasingly critical part of modern data storage and processing.

Raster data formats are chunked internally, but the cloud has exposed these internal implementation details.

Raster data formats are chunked internally, but the cloud has exposed these internal implementation details.

We dig into the Zarr and COG raster formats to see if Zarr can and should now be a replacement for COG, and find a surprising answer.

QEMU Services?

Introduction I do a lot of work with network devices, which are often headless and require the use of serial consoles for out-of-band access.

As I mentioned in my first post, much of my resistance to blogging has been a blend of prefectionism and an abhorrence to any chance of having to deal with yet more infrastructure issue.
