And now, support for Zarr v3 & sharding is released as an OME-Zarr specification! 🎉 forum.image.sc/t/ngff-0-5-r... #NGFF #BioImaging #Formats @openmicroscopy.org @zarr.dev

DANDI now supports embargoing Zarr-based data! Zarrs (@zarr.dev) are cloud-optimized for N-dimensional arrays. Zarr v3 adds sharding to reduce file counts. Check out @openmicroscopy.org's OME-Zarr challenge to generate 1 PB of v3 data: github.com/ome/ome2024-ngff-challenge

🎉 Zarr-Python 3 is here! 🎉 - Full support for Zarr v3 spec - Chunk-sharding for more efficient data storage - Major performance boosts with async I/O & parallel compression 💻 pip install --upgrade zarr 💻 conda install --channel conda-forge zarr Blog post: https://buff.ly/3C3OwYw
