It’s always confused me when “queries per month” is used as a headline. That’s an indicator of the user base, not the technical infrastructure. On average it’s about 10 qps, which for this feature requires possibly a large Arduino. :) BTW, no idea why a web site owner would accept a paid dependency just to do a btree lookup “as a service”.
Interesting architecture, but not impressed by the 25M API calls per month.

Because they’re solving hard problems that will change the world through ip geolocation as a service.
