Creator here. I maintain https://onthegomap.com https://onthegomap.com as a side project. I originally used Google Maps API but after their price hike switched to OpenStreetMap data. I self-host GraphHopper for routing and tried to self-host OpenMapTiles but gave up and used Stadia Maps since it would have taken over 100 days [1] to generate a map of the world myself. Stadia Maps has been great and I highly recommend them, but the problem continued to nag me, so earlier this year I started prototyping a new way to generate vector tiles faster. The idea worked and ended up being able to generate a ~100GB planet.mbtiles file in as little as 59 minutes on a single c5ad.16xlarge instance with 64 cpus and 128GB RAM (although smaller machines appear to be more economical).
I’m open-sourcing Flatmap today. Let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions!
