Ask HN: What happened to flatbuffers? Are they being used?
FlatGeoBuf [1] is an encoding for geographic data (vector features, i.e. points lines polygons and so on) written around flatbuffers that is increasingly well supported in geospatial software (GDAL, MapServer) and people reporting some experiments and demos on the @flatgeobuf Twitter.

COMTiles (Cloud Optimized Map Tiles) hosted on Amazon S3 and Visualized with MapLibre GL JS
For the environment, fork "zimmermannpeter/com-tiles," a forked version of the original, or download and use it. We chose "zimmermannpeter/com-tiles" because as of December 2022, the original "mactrem/com-tiles" is still under pull request and has improved documentation and MapLibre GL JS display environment.
