The PostGIS development team is pleased to announce the release of PostGIS 2.3.0. This is the first version to utilize the parallel support functionality introduced in PostgreSQL 9.6. As such, if you are using PostgreSQL 9.6, we strongly encourage you to use this version.

Parallel support will make many queries using PostGIS relationship operators and functions faster. In order to take advantage of parallel query support, make sure to set max_parallel_workers_per_gather to something greater than 0 as noted in max_parallel_workers_per_gather PostgreSQL runtime configs

Best served with [PostgreSQL 9.6+] which is due out this week and pgRouting 2.3.0 which also just got released.

PostGIS for fast prototyping and Research

I used extensively postgis (+ecosystem) for my phd thesis, in several ways. The first is that PostGIS is a good steady horse (elephant?): a database is the perfect place to store a lot of very different information in the same place and put them in relation. For geospatial data, postgis means you always have a way to put data in relation (are they at the same place?).
