go-openchargemap VS serverlessmaps

I happened to be using OpenStreetMaps for the last couple weeks and released a Golang OpenAPI library for OpenChargeMap [1] In that, I released an IPython notebook and used that to visualize the data on Vision Pro [2].

And I did get it working! But it was not near as cool as it could be because of two dramatic events:

OSM Foundation violated the trust (nice way to put it) of a participant, OSMBuildings.org, in the search for sponsorship [3] (four years ago, such lost progress :( ) The other is that LeafletJS’s developer is Ukrainian and can’t advance his project [4].

Please consider those two issues when contemplating donating to OSM due to this press release. While I applaud OSM abstractly, it exists because of a massive amounts of public contributions of IP, not because of $$ from a commercial sponsor.

Have a look at https://www.serverlessmaps.com/ which uses PMTiles to generate the tiles from OSM data. It's also possible to host the PMTiles directly on S3 and use HTTP range requests to retrieve the desired bounding boxes. Under the hood, it uses CloudFront as CDN, Lambda@Edge functions and S3 (see architecture at https://github.com/serverlessmaps/serverlessmaps/#architectu...)

It's a very cost-effective solution as CloudFront has a 1TB/Month free tier, compared to hosted solutions.

We've had quite some success with deploying "serverless" maps, leveraging PMTiles. Have a look at https://github.com/serverlessmaps/serverlessmaps if you're interested to deploy this on AWS CloudFront/Lambda@Edge/S3...
