The discussion centers on the development and adoption challenges of STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog) for geospatial data processing. Users highlight the complexity of STAC implementations and the variability in catalog efficiency across different use cases. There is a concern that further layers of standards, such as STAC geoparquet, require additional self-hosting solutions, complicating workflows further. This underlines a need for standardized processes while acknowledging the tendency for workarounds in practice.
