Show HN: Metiq: a real time 3D globe for 100 public datasets (metiq.space)

This is amazing. I have been exploring open public datasets for some GIS projects. How are you dealing with any rate limits for how much you can pull from these public servers?

I'm routing and caching a majority of the data into my own database so that all usage and rates are through my service. There are some client based api calls that are made (mostly around existing enrichment) but 95% of traffic hits the db my workers populate.

Very impressive! What's the stack used?

Also, is there a way to stop the 'Satellite Inspect' dialog from coming up when clicking around the globe? It obscures a bit of the map.

On it right now, should see the change live in 10 minutes! Was supposed to only show when imagery was selected.
