At Radar, performance is a feature. Our platform processes over 1 billion API calls per day from hundreds of millions of devices worldwide. We provide geolocation infrastructure and solutions, including APIs for:
Geocoding : Forward geocoding, reverse geocoding, and IP geocoding APIs with global coverage.
: Forward geocoding, reverse geocoding, and IP geocoding APIs with global coverage. Search : Address autocomplete, address validation, and places search APIs.
Address autocomplete, address validation, and places search APIs. Routing : Distance, matrix, route optimization, route matching, and directions APIs.
Distance, matrix, route optimization, route matching, and directions APIs. Geolocation compliance: Detect current jurisdiction, distance to border, regulatory exclusion zones, and more.
But as our products and data scale, so do our engineering challenges.
To support this growth, we developed HorizonDB, a geospatial database written in Rust that consolidates multiple location services into a single, highly performant binary. With HorizonDB, we are able to power all of the above use cases with excellent operational footprint:
Handle 1,000 QPS per core.
Maintain a forward geocoding median latency of 50ms.
Maintain a reverse geocoding median latency of <1ms.
