Show HN: Fast Elevation API with memory mapped tiles

Fast Elevation API with memory mapped tiles is active in the show hn launch space.

Profile

I recently wrote and launched a high-performance Elevation API, built from the ground up, in C. I was highly inspired by the handmade community and I was intrigued by the idea of handling fairly large datasets and optimizing caching and smart prefetching, and to cream out maximum performance in terms of latency and handling large loads.The whole thing is built from scratch. I wanted to roll my own high performance server that could handle a lot, mostly for the technical challenge but also because it brings down hosting costs.At the core is a hand made TCP server where a single thread handles all I/O via epoll, distributing the events to a pool of worker threads. The server is fully non-block

Fast Elevation API with memory mapped tiles is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
