What rasdaman is

rasdaman is a self-hosted database for managing and analyzing multidimensional arrays, including sensor, image, simulation, and statistics data. It handles raster data, geo coverages, and 3D and 4D arrays. Datacube queries use ISO SQL/MDA or the geo-specific WCPS language, and the software supports OGC, ISO, and INSPIRE standards including WCS, WCPS, WMS, and WMTS. Its ETL suite works with more than 100 data formats, such as JSON, XML, GeoTIFF, and NetCDF. Storage tiling can be tuned for different data access patterns, and named clients include Leaflet, NASA WorldWind, QGIS, R, and Python. The free, open-source Community edition includes core array database features. Installation guidance covers source or Debian packages and Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04. It recommends at least 8 GB of memory and says installation uses around 400 MB of disk space.
