Build interactive maps with OpenStreetMap data on AWS

OSM data is free and the open-source community has created an amazing toolchain to work with it, from storage to processing and rendering — visit Swith2OSM to learn more about the OSM ecosystem. You can also run your own “map stack” on AWS. In fact, you can follow the Serverless Vector Tiles on AWS tutorial to build and deploy your own map tiles using Amazon S3, Amazon Route 53, AWS Certificate Manager, and Amazon CloudFront. However, it may become a challenge to maintain your solution over time in a scalable way, especially when you deal with an OSM extract for a large area. As a result, you may delay or not refresh the data at all, resulting in degradation of location data quality over time and negatively impacting the end-user experience.

Amazon Cognito

You will use an AWS CloudFormation template to create a number of AWS resources, including an Amazon Location Service’s map resource, an Amazon Cognito Identity Pool, plus an IAM role and policy. The Identity Pool, and IAM role and policy are necessary to grant access to the map resource. This way a frontend application can send signed HTTP requests to Amazon Cognito and receive temporary, scoped-down credentials that are valid for an hour. Then, it can use those credentials to request map tiles from Amazon Location Service’s Maps API and render them in the browser.
