In plain words
Tile38 is a geolocation database that stores spatial data and enables real-time geofencing capabilities. It uses a spatial index to quickly process location-based queries and monitor when objects enter or leave defined geographic areas. The tool is designed for developers building location-aware applications that require fast, accurate geospatial operations. It is open source and available on GitHub.

My goal was to connect users within polygon geofences anywhere in the world. The app is capable of loading…
