Upload Anything: how we revolutionized data upload
Blog post from Felt
Felt introduced "Upload Anything," a feature designed to simplify map-making by allowing users to drag and drop files into the browser, enabling rapid visualization of complex geospatial datasets on responsive maps. The initial version employed a combination of Elixir, Python, and various other tools, but faced challenges such as slow processing times and limited data format support. To overcome these issues, Felt transitioned to a comprehensive AWS architecture, utilizing services like Step Functions, Lambda, and Elastic Container Service, which facilitated faster processing, real-time updates, and improved user experience. The new system supports a wider range of geospatial datasets, enhances internal development flexibility, and provides a smoother user experience by serving tilesets through a CDN for global low-latency access. Additionally, Felt is expanding its team, seeking Elixir Engineers, a Growth Marketer, and an Engineering Manager to join their innovative efforts.
