Store finder - performance optimisation with in-memory technique

Ashish Kumar (~ashish85)


Description:

Introduction

Nowadays in the brand websites, it is common to find a store locator which helps you find a store nearby mostly powered by google maps. Using location service provider like google maps is all well and good unless you have a large (in order of millions) amount of locations to map and you need to do it frequently. Also using a location API service is out if we have inhouse custom location data. We have a new approach which saved us both time and money. We were able to find a nearby location from millions of locations in just a few microseconds.

Benchmark

Our test location database has around 1.5 million locations. For the purpose of this test, we performed the test on around 10,000 random locations and the results are as follows The time is for a single request. Benchmark Details
