Apache Sedona (incubating) is a cluster computing system for processing large-scale spatial data. Sedona extends existing cluster computing systems, such as Apache Spark and Apache Flink, with a set of out-of-the-box distributed Spatial Datasets and Spatial SQL that efficiently load, process, and analyze large-scale spatial data across machines.

High Speed

According to our benchmark and third-party research papers, Sedona runs 2X - 10X faster than other Spark-based geospatial data systems on computation-intensive query workloads.

Execution time of spatial join with polygons

Low Memory Consumption

According to our benchmark and third-party research papers, Sedona has 50% less peak memory consumption than other Spark-based geospatial data systems for large-scale in-memory query processing.
