#32Hi, author here, I just noticed that Baremaps was submitted to HN. Our demo runs on PostGIS, and I'm surprised it's holding up under the load. I'm happy to answer questions. Here is the fullscreen demonstration for those who are interested. https://demo.baremaps.com/
If you get a chance, it would be neat to see a brief summary article added to your website that talks about how much traffic and how Baremaps + PostGIS handled it. Info like that can be hard to come by when evaluating GIS frameworks and is really helpful!

As a geographer who migrated to mobile robotics and web mapping, I’ve found that there is a lack of “serious” web spatial analysis tools for in-browser work. Think the geotoolbox you get in ArcGIS or QGIS for building analytical processing pipelines for raster and vector datasets, particularly from web sources. Lately I’ve revisited the idea and found that with wasm, SharedArrayBuffer for parallelism, and more maturi…
Watch out for software license conflicts moving the code to WASM. Some code can run on a server without triggering distribution clauses. WASM runs on the client and may count as distribution.
Assume Apache Baremaps uses an Apache license, it might be more wasm-friendly than most GIS software…

What is the library being used to display the map?

> How do these issues even exists in 2023? As long as the core developpers of the new platform live and work on the US west coast, any issue non relevant to the US will be a second class citizen, mostly dealt with after the product is deemed stable. The same way OpenAI operates in english first and other language systems will be improved "later". It's not a jab on the devs, I realistically can't see any other approac…
The main developer is based in Switzerland.
Point taken. Western Europe is already a pretty big difference in many respects (I guess that also explains Lausanne as the default position)

#38Cool. From this I also learned about geoBoundaries https://www.geoboundaries.org/ and Turf.js https://turfjs.org/ .

Unfortunately, I don't gather statistics on the demonstration server. I believe that the in-memory caffeine cache (https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine) saved me.

MapLibre (https://maplibre.org/) is used to render the map.
