Adding Location Services to your JAMStack

Location services cover a wide range of capabilities. They allow for
mapping with custom markers, routing that takes into account traffic
and accidents, and geocoding, the transformation of free form
addresses to more precise longitude and latitude values. The JAMStack,
while involving static web sites, can easily make use of location
services in a variety of ways. From client-side mapping libraries to
serverless functions, your "static" site can do everything from
providing custom directions to your users to emailing them customized
maps.

In this talk, I'll discuss the location services provided by HERE
Technologies (with alternatives as well) and share examples of
updating a real static site to make use of them.
