Airmail has a couple really unique features. It's designed to query against a remote
index and run on inexpensive hardware. The demo server is running on a VPS with 1GB of
index and run on inexpensive hardware. The demo server is running on a VPS with 512MB of
RAM. The main search index lives on object storage and is lazy-loaded with range requests. The total
cost of the
planet demo server is about $10 USD/month, which is fairly low for a planet-scale geocoder.

some compromises. Latency on an Airmail request is pretty high, anywhere from
10ms-10s, depending on how hot the cache is. There's some low hanging fruit for optimization, but
S3 range queries are always going to be slower than an SSD random read. If you can afford 350GB of
block storage, you can consistently get sub-50ms latency, and still only need about a gigabyte of
