  CARTO is a cloud-native location intelligence platform that lets developers
  and analysts build spatial applications directly on top of modern data
  warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks). It exposes a
  Maps API for vector and tileset map data, an SQL API for spatial
  analytics, a Workflows API for executing no-code spatial pipelines, an
  Import API for data ingestion, and the Data Observatory for curated
  third-party spatial datasets — all backed by OAuth access tokens and
  API access tokens.
