Running Your Own Rendering Infrastructure Seth Fitzsimmons Stamen Design http://flic.kr/p/8sJotc
Biases Up Front • Hosting maps is only part of
what we do • Needs to scale with limited attention • We use OSM, Natural Earth, + domain-specific data • This is how we do it, given our unique constraints • Conditions change, constantly
Golden Gate National Parks Conservatory
Toner
Lessons Learned • Your map is an app: version it
and include deps • Your data is an API • Shield what’s fragile • Repeat
services vs. a Service
Goals • minimal administrative overhead • straightforward to update data
and styles • cost-effective • performant • flexible • can be handed over to clients with minimal technical capacity • horizontally scalable
Rules of Thumb • If X can be accomplished without
shared state, don’t use shared state. • Use other products’ ops teams to sleep better. • Lean on others (people, software) to focus effort.
