"Managing Geospatial Open Data Serverlessly" by Chris Bingham - T2/3 CNC CH Meetup, November 7 2024

Managing Geospatial Open Data Serverlessly: paddelbuch.ch
Chris Bingham, cloudypandas.ch
Over the last few years, I've built paddelbuch.ch, an open-source, open-data project that publishes mapping data for the Swiss paddle sports community.
With the goal of a zero-ops, (nearly) zero-cost system, serverless was the apparent technology approach. However, this was not without its ups and downs!
Let's journey together through the technical successes, service issues, and open-source perils that have made up the paddelbuch.ch story.
