White Paper: Creating a GEDI Geo-Locator
Remote sensing instruments like NASA’s GEDI, which is mounted to the Japanese Experiment Module – Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) on the International Space Station (ISS), produce a massive amount of data and one of the tools scientists use when working with those data is a geo-locator–a geographic coordinates search engine. GEDI, launched in 2018, is the…

Notifications over Websockets with Http4s and Skunk
In an attempt to avoid relying on polling in a front-end application or third-party services, we attempt servicing asynchronous notifications over websockets using only PostgreSQL and Scala.

Revisiting the Ethics of Project Selection
A major part of how Azavea pursues its mission is tied to how we select our projects. As our work on Earth observation imagery has grown, we felt it was time to develop a guideline around a new industry: energy.

Prototyping Your Way to Good UX
I’m going to come right out and say it: prototyping is the most powerful tool in your UI/UX tool belt. Let me clarify. I still think of prototyping as one of the many ways to extract valuable information and iterate on a design–like user research or card sorting–but I now put prototyping at the top…
