About this talk

There is a growing number of analytical applications offered by new firms and established software vendors. IT and Data departments have to decide between buying an external tool or developing one in-house. Either is costly. Glovo created a suitable analytical tool for leveraging the large amount of spatial data we collect using open-source tools, python libraries and frameworks. We were able to build a minimum viable product and a foundation for a spatial analytics framework without committing too much money or developer hours. This talk will take you through the process of designing and building the tool, and present the current architecture, with a demo.
