What is Zarr?

Zarr is a format for storing array data in chunks, compressed, and with metadata. It's designed for parallel reading and writing, and is particularly useful for large, multi-dimensional arrays that don't fit in memory. It's commonly used in scientific computing, particularly for storing and analyzing large datasets like those from simulations or experiments. It can be stored in various formats, including object storage systems like S3 or Google Cloud Storage, making it suitable for cloud-based workflows.
