This is fantastic! I always strive to host everything on my own domain, or at least proxy things through it, but maps was one of those things that I always had to rely on cross-domain requests for.
And guess what? My next project is map related! I'm certainly going to take this for a test drive. Thanks for sharing.
- RNCTX 5y agoMap tiles are actually one thing you can still justify bare-metal for, imo. I don't do things with maps professionally but when I did some non-profit stuff involving maps in the last couple of years it didn't take long to figure out that RAM costs made cloud hosting/serving of maps prohibitively expensive, whereas doing it on bare metal with NVME disk arrays was a whole lot more feasible.
- tuukkah 5y agoYou don't need RAM to serve map tiles: Tilemaker and similar can produce the tiles to be served as static files. You can also find pre-made tile sets you can serve.
