 #OpenStreetMap has one tile rendering server for all of USA, and that server can no longer keep up with peak US traffic. If you, or your company,are interested in hosting a rendering node in the US (or elsewhere), please contact us. 15 comments
@koherecoWatchdog @viduno that can't really work. Tiles need to be rendered and generated "live" @koherecoWatchdog @viduno oh man. Vector Tiles! We've been talking about that for years. 😅😅😅 Some palaces do vector tiles, and you still need to generate them, but not exactly as often. And raster tiles are still used a lot, including here  @koherecoWatchdog @amapanda apps like OsmAnd seem to render on their own but it's *lots* of work to implement (they have C++ core and it's still not very fast sometimes). @charlag it's better if you talk to the OWG directly. I don't know the fine details  @amapanda possibly. What do you need? A virt? Physical host? Are you able to maintain it and you just need a place and net connection to put it? What’s your need?  @maswan 🤷♀️ You should really talk to the OWG directly rather than me… Sorry I don't know the details and I'm just passing on a message. |
Gregory's Server
@viduno @amapanda Sounds like a job for an IPFS sort of network. Imagine if tiles were fetched from many peers in a bittorrent like way.
