Raster Loader roadmap

Vision

The Raster Loader is an open-source tool for loading GIS raster data to standard cloud-based data warehouses that don’t natively support raster data.

Goals for version 1.0.0

Goals for version 1.0.0 of Raster Loader include:

For loading raster data:

  • Support loading raster data from a local file and file archives (ZIP)

  • Support loading raster data from a URL

  • Support loading raster data from a cloud storage bucket (such as AWS S3)

For storing raster data in the cloud:

  • Support storing raster data in GCP, AWS, and Azure data warehouses

Goals for future versions

Goals for future versions include:

  • Add improved error handling

  • Make the CLI more user-friendly
