Cloud-native Geo may be the hot new thing but turns out a simple SQLite database with an r-tree spatial index (GPKG) works just fine even for 6 million features, on a cheap 4 core server. Plus it gives you search-as-you-type via fts5.

Flatgeobuf on-demand vector tiling performance on a $5 4-core server *almost* good enough. The FGB process uses http range requests with minimal latency as the data host is the web server not a cloud bucket. More/faster server cores (my m2 Mac) make it much more viable. #gis #gischat #webmaps #cng
