I’ve been working on a new chapter for my upcoming DuckDB book (duckdb.gishub.org), focusing on large-scale geospatial analytics. As part of the chapter, I generated an H3 heatmap of 2.5 billion global building footprints from Overture Maps.
Stay tuned for the book release!

The 1.4 release of @duckdb.org supports using a DuckDB database to serve vector tiles!
Of course, I had to try this out in R.
Check it out: all 242,000 US Census block groups dynamically served as vector tiles from a DuckDB database, displayed on a MapLibre map from R in Positron.
