GeoTrellis is a Scala library and framework for high-performance reading, writing, and processing of geospatial raster and vector data. It includes Apache Spark integration and MapAlgebra operations for distributed geospatial computation.

Use cases

  • process satellite imagery at scale
  • run map algebra operations on rasters
  • read and write geospatial raster and vector data
  • distributed raster processing with Spark
  • build tile-serving backends for web maps
  • perform terrain analysis like slope and aspect calculation

When to choose

  • you need high-performance raster processing on the JVM
  • you want to scale geospatial computation across a Spark cluster
  • you're building Scala applications that work with geospatial data
  • you need MapAlgebra-style operations on large raster datasets

When to avoid

  • you need a simple Python GIS scripting workflow
  • you only need lightweight vector operations without raster processing
  • your team doesn't work on the JVM and can't adopt Scala
  • you need a turnkey desktop GIS application
