About PostGIS
PostGIS is a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL object-relational database. It adds support for geographic objects allowing location queries to be run in SQL. In addition to basic location awareness, PostGIS offers many features rarely found in other competing spatial databases such as Oracle Locator/Spatial and SQL Server. PostGIS can utilize the faster GiST building support API introduced in PostgreSQL 14. If compiled with recently released GEOS 3.10.1 you can take advantage of improvements in ST_MakeValid and numerous speed improvements.

Wherobots
Wherobots, the Spatial Intelligence Cloud, enables any data team to analyze data about the physical world faster, at greater scale, and at lower cost compared to traditional solutions. Built by the creators of Apache Sedona, it's a compute lakehouse engine that unifies spatial and non-spatial data, automates data workflows, and runs AI on planetary scale imagery.
Spatial data refers to information about places, objects, or activities. Examples include GPS points and tracks, routes, land, road, parcel, crop, and building data, as well as imagery from drones and satellites. This data is fundamental to various industries including aerospace, mobility, ag-tech, insurance, energy, telecommunications, retail, and logistics. In one solution, Wherobots handles these diverse spatial data types and formats, with customers seeing production workloads run up to 20x faster and at lower cost than popular lakehouse engines.
