This is really awesome to see. I'm involved in many of these projects (helped get MapLibre started, wrote a library supporting PMTiles, have used OpenMapTiles for years), and to see open-source, open-data win in the end is really satis

What type of role are you looking for? GIS is a huge space, and you could specialize in one niche for years or go more general, so it's really based on what you want to do. I'd say there's three or four general areas: mappi

Can you email me luke <at> stadiamaps.com? I would love to chat about QGIS plugins, and we may be able to sponsor you to build one.

QGIS is the swiss army knife of geospatial computing. I use it daily, and frequently, for all sorts of work building a location API SaaS company. It's a sterling success of open source, on par with as impactful as Linux, for the geospa

> Russian officials already know that any “negotiation” or treaty signed with Kiev (in fact with the US) is not even worth the paper it is written on, I had hoped the Estonian “Foreign Intelligence Service” would have been aware of that.

We've been building stadiamaps.com to help with those table-stakes--affordable, private, and independent mapping services are vital for everyone today. That being said, projects like this will make it easier for folks to get the basics

Checkout planetiler: https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler . A super fast way to take an OSM data dump to create vector tiles.

MapLibre board member here. Really cool map! I also just love seeing MapLibre random places on the internet. :)

Thanks, Durkie! :)

Small note of clarification about MapLibre. It's a vendor-neutral, community-led project supported by a lot of different industry participants (including AWS & Meta). https://maplibre.org

I'd love to hear your thoughts directly on this one. They're a primary competitor, and we would be happy to learn how to better serve your needs! (Email in bio.)

If it's just local--depending on the exact service--you probably wouldn't need a lot of RAM. Expect memory requirements to scale somewhat sub-linearly with diversity of regions simultaneously accessed.
43.
by lukeqsee 4y ago
For sure! There's a lot of in-between solutions (depending on what services/regions/update frequency you need).

by lukeqsee 4y ago
Serving large data sets at acceptable latency typically requires some proportional amount of RAM to keep frequently accessed files and indexes in memory (especially if you're serving off of HDDs). It depends on the service, but we freq

For businesses who don't want to self-host maps, but still want to migrate away from Google Maps (or other major cloud providers' offerings), there's quite a few options (full disclosure, I run one of them): - https:/&#

For two: BlockFi and Gemini Earn both have stopped withdrawing. This means a lot of people have a lot of crypto that they may or may not ever get back. I suspect it will take some time, but at the ecosystem level, contagion is already her

I think "Outage" as stated is a bit over-the-top. We run significant operations in most of these DCs, and we have seen zero impact. YMMV of course, but I think it's a big disingenuous to say this is a full outage.

That's not a bad one-word description. :)

I doubt what I saw will really add to what Doctor_Fegg says in his talk. However, a few examples: https://daylightmap.org is built by Meta (Facebook) to allow their maps to meet their quality needs consistently while still pulli

Every company starts as a "net taker" until they find their contribution niche, so I'm not concerned. Besides, the positive effect of more eyes seeing OSM and more companies caring about its quality cannot be understated. (I

Welcome to the party, TomTom! A little more healthy competition never hurts. :) Seriously though, the prestige of OSM and the companies building on it is only growing—a success story of epic proportions to the open source and open data comm

Great coverage on those answers. Thanks! One followup: have you considered handling the actual usage calculation and aggregation? One use case that comes to mind is accepting API request logs from (CloudFlare|CloudFront|Logstash), processin

Congrats on launching a product of this complexity! Best of luck. I'm staring down the barrel of a potential usage pricing implementation, and I'm glad the majority of the foundational work is already done. It'd be no cakewal

No one uses the plain text, though. Every tool I have used, uses the PBF. (I run a company built on OSM, so that's a lot of tools.)

ScyllaDB's obsession with performance by working closely with deep understanding of hardware and software and not simply adding more machines is really impressive. They consistently demonstrate that we are under using our CPUs compared

HAProxy also has Lua support. The general answer here, is no, I don't think you can do much in HAProxy that you can't do with OpenResty, but with HAProxy you generally don't have to pay the overhead of Lua (and HAProxy tends

We built a fantastic CDN on top of HAProxy, and all these nifty tricks are only scratching the surface of its potential. The ease with which you can make real-time reactions to threats and conditions is really second to none, and with the a

The article didn't seem to say how much they're raising prices, only that they're raising prices due to electricity. Where are you pulling seeing the price change %? I may need to edit that to marginal , if it's only 10
