@jedsundwall @giswqs @kylebarron2 @sinergise @matthmohr @opencholmes @jatorre Well you have better numbers than me about that :). There should be an order of magnitude difference between raw data access and web applications that only need to transfer the pixels you look at though

@jedsundwall @giswqs @kylebarron2 @sinergise @matthmohr @opencholmes @jatorre I’d have to do some digging... My guess is that egress isn’t close to being the largest cost so isn’t much of a priority for optimization. With levels of caching it might also be hard to tell how much actually gets transferred to the user.

@mouthofmorrison maybe I’m naïve but I think a big part of this is due to chasing growth rather than cultivating the true value of the company

Earth Engine is now generally available on Google Cloud for governments and businesses. So excited to see the impact that Earth Engine enables for this new group of users, and working together for a more sustainable planet. blog.google/products/earth… #GEE #geospatial

@mouthofmorrison Planet tried this of course and walked it back. Their mistake was only releasing california and the sharealike license, which is like limiting the free tier of your SaaS to non-profits in CA. Release a single year of global coverage and everyone will want to try building a 3m map

@mouthofmorrison The power of open access to build markets is somehow still underappreciated in our sector
