Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API
The real meat of this story:<p>> A web application with 50,000 map loads using the Google Maps API will cost $350 per month.<p>> A similar amount of traffic running through a Protomaps CDN install on Cloudflare, with an average of 20 tiles per session, costs fifty cents in Cloudflare Workers request fees.<p>$350 versus $0.50! Who's going to be the first to build a (maybe Google Maps-compatible?) API on top of this and sell it for a fraction of the cost?<p>Edit: Looked around a bit and Protomaps already offers a hosted map through Github Sponsors here: <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/protomaps">https://github.com/sponsors/protomaps</a>
