Self-hosted routing engines

$70K saved / yr

  • OSRM
  • Valhalla
  • Kubernetes

A build-vs-buy analysis that replaced paid distance-matrix and directions APIs with self-hosted OSRM and Valhalla.

The decision

Paid Distance Matrix and Directions APIs were a large, growing line item for every routing request. I led the build-vs-buy analysis for our mapping infrastructure.

The outcome

We adopted self-hosted OSRM and Valhalla across all regions and cut costs by $70K a year.
