How to make self-hosted maps that work everywhere and cost next to nothing


Chris Amico provides a detailed roundup of the state of web mapping in 2024. It's never been easier to entirely host your own mapping infrastructure, thanks to OpenStreetMap, Overture, MBTiles, PMTiles, Maplibre and a whole ecosystem of other fine open source projects.


I like Protomaps creator Brandon Liu's description of this: "post-scarcity web mapping".
