Getting to Know SimpleGeo
summary
SimpleGeo exposes a hosted location backend: a custom Gizelle multi-master geospatial DB built on Cassandra with writes replicated to three data centers and backups dumped to your Amazon S3, plus an iTunes for geodata marketplace that normalizes feeds (free or subscription). Live demo shows real-time check-ins mapped and animated, and the stack includes real-time heatmaps and point clusters, a reverse geocoder and polygon “pushpin” service, client libraries (Python, PHP, Obj‑C, Ruby, C#), an iPhone SDK (Android upcoming) and an open‑source AR SDK, available today.
