Tile38 – Realtime geofencing and geospatial index, v1.7.0

Yes, it is being used in production.

General purpose spatial queries with Tile38 are very fast. Likely much quicker than PostGIS, but PostGIS will be able to store much more data. It's a tradeoff for sure.

If your dataset isn't terribly big and performance is what you're after then I recommend giving Tile38 a try.

Thank you for the details! After all, if I can manage to fit around 6 million points into a single r4.large and get a decent response time when clustering them, I can't see why I shouldn't try something with it as a secondary data store.

I can't argue with that. :)
