Another year done for GeoJS. Traffic was all over the shop this year with a gradual incline as the year went but nowhere near the all time high of January last year.
Seven months saw a traffic increase last year unlike 2021 which only saw six. In reality traffic levels don’t matter anymore and I’m just happy the service is still being used.
| Month | Requests | Growth |
|---|---|---|
| January | 2,894,213,509 | -4.034% |
| February | 2,975,476,448 | 2.81% |
| March | 3,241,584,110 | 8.94% |
| April | 2,881,246,142 | -11.12% |
| May | 2,796,777,048 | -2.93% |
| June | 3,671,078,213 | 31.26% |
| July | 3,278,299,176 | -10.70% |
| August | 3,349,973,503 | 2.18% |
| September | 3,689,935,033 | 10.15% |
| October | 4,750,964,013 | 28.75% |
| November | 4,185,699,502 | -11.9% |
| December | 4,583,702,347 | 9.5% |
2022 did contain one new record with the 20th of October serving a record breaking 213,182,557 requests totalling 258 GB of traffic. The previous single day record was held by the 27th January 2021 which “only” served a measly 186,437,278 requests.
Over 2022 GeoJS served 53TB worth of traffic to users with Cloudflare serving 9TB of those directly from cache. As always I want to thank Cloudflare once again for providing the bandwidth they do. This beats last year by a whole 3TB of data.
In 2022 I released a new web app at app.geojs.io based on SvelteKit running on Netlify. It was a really fun project to execute and overall I think it greatly improves what was there previously.
2023 will involve some infrastructure changes as I want to simplify the overall architecture of the platform along with reducing costs. It currently costs ~$100 USD per month to run with majority of that going to Route53 bills. In order to ensure the continuation of the platform changes must be made.
