OpenStreetMap is probably one of the best examples of a successful giant community. They created a beautiful billion dollar vacuum in the map industry, although the system is still underused. To reach its full potential, the community needs to work on simplicity, especially to set up tile servers. The DesignMyApp team unleashed a set of tools for Mapsquare.io, that allows you to launch a complete tile-server stack in one minute.

“Most people just want this:
some data, a tile server, to serve some beautiful maps.”

OSM data is far away from reaching its potential of usage
You know what? I’d rather pay
$$$ to [place any map service here]

The Dream
Easy as

The options
• Toolbox:
• Package? Too many distribs / versions, not modular
• VMs? Too many vendors, not flexible enough
VMware, Hyper-V, OpenStack, VirtualBox, AMIs…
• Conf management tools? Interesting
Chef, Puppet, Ansible
• Containers? YES

• Challenges:
• Make choices, but leave room for light config (region, style colors).
• Run anywhere, scale easily
• Roadmap:
• OpenSourcing Container stack on https://github.com/mapsquare
• Accept more providers (Amazon, Google, On-premise, Azure, …)
• Handle diffs
• Improve stack (Imposm 3, Mapnik 3…)
