Remove Terracotta

Terracotta utilizes the Rasterio Python Library for working with the raster files. Rasterio is a convenience wrapper that makes it easy to work with GDAL.

This means that, theoretically, we can do away with Terracotta and directly work with Rasterio.

Working directly with rasterio would be great, but not sure how we would be able to ingest the files into db

Yes, you're right.

Without Terracotta, we'll also need to figure out how we'll store indexed raster data with its related non-spatial data.

so do we want to keep this as an issue?
thx

Yes, I think that we should keep it open for now (as an unplanned enhancement). We'll come back to it later when we have a better solution available.
