## Abstract

WarpFlow is a fast, interactive data querying and processing system with a focus on petabyte-scale spatiotemporal datasets and Tesseract queries. With the rapid growth in smartphones and mobile navigation services, we now have an opportunity to radically improve urban mobility and reduce friction in how people and packages move globally every minute-mile, with data. WarpFlow speeds up three key metrics for data engineers working on such datasets -- time-to-first-result, time-to-full-scale-result, and time-to-trained-model for machine learning.
