If your backend storage doesn't natively support spatial queries, this article is tailored for you. You can always build another microservice to handle spatial data, but this option often involves the overhead of maintaining an additional application. Another approach is to use geo-indexing libraries like S2 and H3. S2 divides the sphere into cells, each with a unique 64-bit identifier. Higher levels correspond to finer resolutions and smaller cell areas.
