MariaDB joins Open Geospatial Consortium and acquires CubeWerx

The team at the SQL database, MariaDB, today announced that the company has joined the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) on the heels of its acquisition of CubeWerx, the geospatial solutions provider. 

Through the OGC, MariaDB will work alongside the geospatial community in order to advance open geospatial standards to make information Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. 

“We are thrilled to welcome MariaDB to the OGC,” said Nadine Alameh, CEO of the OGC. “MariaDB’s acquisition of CubeWerx demonstrates that the value of geospatial is finally being recognized as central to pretty much all applications and all decisions. It is great to see that what we have been working on as a geospatial community with leaders from CubeWerx and others is at the point of making impact at a scale never seen before.”

With the acquisition of CubeWerx, MariaDB adds cloud-native, scalable geospatial capabilities that the company plans to offer through its fully managed cloud service MariaBD SkySQL. 

According to the company, applications that leverage geospatial data help to enable businesses to offer new products or services that are more engaging or tailored directly to end users. 

Geospatial data pertains to several different use cases, including mapping services for location awareness and route optimization and improving forecast accuracy, inventory management, and equity trading. 

In combination with CubeWerx, MariaDB will provide geospatial data through open standard APIs and work to eliminate the limitations for data volume, enabling geospatial data to grow at any scale.

“MariaDB’s vision for how to deliver geospatial capabilities aligns perfectly with what we’ve built at CubeWerx,” said Edric Keighan, co-founder at CubeWerx and VP for geospatial engineering at MariaDB Corporation. “Our team brings significant experience in geospatial to MariaDB, having worked as the original implementers of Oracle Spatial. We’ll be able to help execute MariaDB’s vision to bring the best geospatial experience to developers and end users, reaching an even broader audience.”

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
