  1. 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
  2. Lessons Learned • Your map is an app: version it

    and include deps • Your data is an API • Shield what’s fragile • Repeat
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. tl;dpa • Your map is an app • Your data

    is an API • Shield what’s fragile • Always be iterating • Fastly • AWS / Heroku • github.com/mojodna/tessera
