   @evanprodromou I'm wondering why it isn't preferable for OpenStreetMap to provide this data directly. Since they are the stewards and custodians of the entire data set, it would only make sense that other people on the Web depend on OSM's domain instead of a third party, no?

     @strypey If it runs on Cloud Run, it shouldn't be too much of a challenge to make it run on e.g. OpenFaaS. It is certainly possible to write things that run on OpenFaaS and run on Cloud Run unmodified.

     Let me back up, and congratulate you on this experiment. Figuring out how to make use of both AP and open datasets like OSM in social apps opens up a range of intriguing UX possibilities.

     This is Ok for a PoC. But is there a longer term plan to develop something vendor-independent?

     @strypey @raucao Did you read the article you are replying to? It explains how this is built and why it is on Google Cloud.

     Especially when that third party depends on a Goggle service;

     "If you want to run your own instance, you need to use Google Cloud Run functions or a compatible service (if those exist)."

     I'm hoping there's plans to fix that @evanprodromou?=

     @strypey Back in 2019, Cloud Run was a Google-hosted version of open source project Knative. I haven't been following this, so I don't know if that is still the case.
