PostGIS is great when your data is already in a Postgres table! SedonaDB and DuckDB are much faster when your data starts elsewhere (e.g., GeoParquet files).

Oh I see. So if you have some kind of a pipeline in which you don’t need or want to load the data into a DB first. That makes total sense, thanks!
