Accepted Answer

dask-image

Question 3

Is gjoseph92/stackstac a good alternative to Xarray Beam?

Accepted Answer

Turn a list of STAC items into a 4D xarray DataArray (dims: time, band, y, x), including reprojection to a common grid. The array is a lazy Dask array, so loading and processing the data in parallel—locally or on a cluster—is just a compute() call away.
