CARTO
CARTO is a cloud-based location intelligence platform that enables developers and analysts to visualize, analyze, and share spatial data through interactive maps and dashboards. It provides tools for data integration, geospatial analysis, and application development, leveraging technologies like PostGIS and vector tiles. The platform is widely used for urban planning, logistics, business intelligence, and environmental monitoring.
Developers should learn CARTO when building applications that require advanced geospatial visualization, real-time location analytics, or interactive mapping features, such as in smart city projects, supply chain optimization, or market analysis tools. It is particularly valuable for integrating large-scale spatial datasets, performing spatial queries, and embedding maps into web or mobile apps through its APIs and SDKs.
