  • Jun 30, 2022

Our mini-series on geo-temporal data continues with a dive into S2 geometry. Here, Nathanial Cook describes what S2 geometry is, how it accelerates geo-spatial data processing, and how to use S2 cell data in InfluxDB. To learn more about the basics of geo-temporal data and InfluxDB, see Part 1. To learn more about using Flux to query geo-temporal data, see Part 3.
