Fast OpenStreetMap importer that writes PostGIS databases.

Imposm imports OpenStreetMap data into PostGIS, written in Go. It's designed for speed and low memory use, supports incremental diff updates, and gives you full control over the table schema via mapping files. A common alternative to osm2pgsql for tile-serving pipelines.
