Cloudflare: 100GB hosting is $1 and $.36 for 10 million requests.

If you read the Protomaps docs it explains how to cache the requests on Cloudflare CDN so you only have to pay for each tile request once per cache period. It's quite cheap.

Edit: previous submission title for Protomaps: Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API

Okay but the question was what it actually costs, not what our favorite mitm provider offers as a commercial service (they have the worldwide hardware and sufficiently deep pockets to offer this at a rate that guarantees gaining market share, below the cost price of normal hosting providers)

I mean, one of the examples uses cloudflare to host the thing, so that is the pricing parent is talking about. What else do you want?

Are you asking how much it would cost to run this on self-hosted bare metal servers? Otherwise I'm also not sure what you're asking for.
