Map Mastery – Spatial Tips for Your Laravel App
summary
Shows concrete tactics: use geojson casts in Laravel 7+ to pass features, prefer Leaflet/OpenStreetMap over costly Google or Mapbox tiles, extract EXIF with Intervention Image to auto-fill locations, store either lat/long numeric fields for fast, simple queries or PostGIS spatial types for polygons, add spatial indexes (GIST can cut common queries up to ~200%), and prefer a bounding box scope for nearby queries (100k points from ~200ms to <10ms in his benchmark) and lazy-load maps and tiles to avoid surprise bills.
