It supports a variety of object types including lat/lon points, bounding boxes, XYZ tiles, Geohashes, and GeoJSON. 6 points posted by andythomas https://github.com/tidwall/tile38 665 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 22:59:00 +0000 In early 2015 we built a microservice that does one thing (and does it really well), geofence lookups. One year later, this service is Uber’s highest queries per second (QPS) service out of the hundreds we run in production. Here’s the story of why we built this service, and how the relatively recent Go programming language helped us build and scale it so fast. 5 points posted by lolly https://eng.uber.com/go-geofence 634 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 12:11:00 +0000
