    If you need to render quite a lot of data look at one of the WebGL implementations, I switched from Leaflet to Maplibre GL for displaying around ~7k linestrings and saw huge performance gains.

    Leaflet.js (I've used it through the R and Python libraries)

    I recently came across Datasette. It lets you a build a map with a simple sqlite DB. Here is an example: https://global-power-plants.datasettes.com/global-power-plan...

    Mapbox since they create and host tilesets of my large data and I can spin up a map in minutes.
