CartoDB

Geospatial database in the cloud

2012-2014
Ruby on Rails PostgreSQL/PostGIS JavaScript Leaflet

The Challenge

Making geospatial data accessible to non-technical users. The platform needed to handle millions of data points while providing an intuitive, responsive mapping experience.

The Solution

Built the web application layer using Ruby on Rails, creating interactive map visualizations and data management tools. Worked on real-time rendering of large datasets and the collaborative editing features.

Results

  • Millions of map views served
  • Used by NASA, Twitter, The Guardian
  • Grew to $30M+ in funding
