The platform processes dozens of terabytes of satellite imagery per day at fractions of a penny per square kilometer by splitting jobs into three hardware-matched stages: CPU-based data acquisition, GPU inference, and CPU postprocessing. A recent North America wildfire-risk map used ~19,600 CPUs and ~994 GPUs in parallel, achieving a 155× speedup over serial compute. Key engineering challenges covered include managing satellite metadata across providers via a custom STAC index, windowed reads from cloud-optimized formats (COG, Zarr), idempotent task execution for fault tolerance, and overlap reconciliation for seamless output rasters. The roadmap includes automated scheduled runs, change-detection alerts, agentic interfaces, precomputed global embeddings, and multi-cloud deployment. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
