What are the pros and cons of using earthdistance instead of PostGIS?
I understand eathdistance uses spherical calculations, so the error compared with PostGIS can be up to 0.3% according to this answer, but how much faster can it be? Database size? Or other benefits or other issues?

I do not understand the comparison earthdistance vs. PostGIS because PostGIS can apply either sphere of spheroid postgis.net/docs/ST_Distance.html.

well yes, but maybe earthdistance is faster than ST_Distance because its a smaller library, I don't know of any caveats, I am pretty new to all this, so I am asking for pros and cons to help me decide on which to use and avoid issues and surprises in the future
