OpenStreetMap in the Cloud
Sajjad Anwar

The geospatial world is moving to cloud-first and cloud-native approaches. Movements like STAC and COG have transformed how people use raster data in the last couple of years. OpenStreetMap has much to gain from thinking about different cloud infrastructure architectures. This talk will discuss what it takes to run the OpenStreetMap ecosystem in the cloud and present the history and work on a project called OSM Seed. We learned so much while building OSM Seed and think it can be a blueprint for running OpenStreetMap on cloud infrastructure.
