PostGIS
Databases
PostGIS is an open-source extension for the PostgreSQL database that adds support for storing, indexing, and querying geographic and spatial data, such as points, lines, and polygons. It's used by GIS analysts, backend developers, and urban planners to run spatial queries like proximity searches, area calculations, and map overlays directly within SQL. It's a core tool in geospatial software stacks alongside applications like QGIS and mapping APIs.
