GraphHopper Distance Matrix: Self-Host & Replace Google Maps API ($510/day → $0)

What Is the GraphHopper Distance Matrix? Answer-first: GraphHopper distance matrix is the /matrix API of the open-source GraphHopper routing engine. It accepts N points and returns an N×N matrix of travel durations (seconds) and distances (meters) based on real road networks from OpenStreetMap — completely free when self-hosted. For 100 delivery stops, it computes 10,000 pairs in under 50ms on a standard VPS. This guide covers everything you need to run GraphHopper distance matrix in production: Docker setup, the /matrix API, Custom Models for truck/motorcycle routing, H3-based Redis caching, and an honest comparison with OSRM, Valhalla, and Google Maps. ...

Today is June 6, 2026. Following the June 2 radar on NVIDIA RTX Spark and Intel 18A at Computex, this week’s signals shift from silicon announcements to the engineering workbench itself: how you write code, how you secure your cluster, how the Java ecosystem is evolving — and what arrives at WWDC26 in 48 hours. Two parallel macro signals are reshaping the regional technology landscape: Eric Schmidt’s visit to Hanoi to advise Vietnam’s national AI strategy, and LG Innotek expanding its semiconductor substrate plant in northern Vietnam. Overlay that with the sharpest Nasdaq sell-off of the month — investors are now demanding that AI spend justify itself. ...
