Show HN: I Made a Ultra-Low Latency IP Geolocation API in Go

Hey!

I'm a solo developer having fun learning Go. I have a side hustle and wanted to implement currency localization. I could use existing IP databases, but hosting on serverless is slow. So I built my own.

I was surprised how fun it can be to use Go, and it's fast. Thankfully, Go's speed makes up for my dodgy code.

Anyway, I'd love to get some feedback on my website/API. After a few weeks of testing and losing money on ads, I'm confident it's very reliable.

This isn't a promo. It's basicly free (30k lookups/month), so there's no need to pay.

Any advice or tips on how to grow and what you would do differently?

Your product looks very good.

I am the creator of https://ipapi.is/ and already some time in the niche. I also have my own IP Geolocation Database as described here: https://ipapi.is/geolocation.html

Do you have your first customers?

I like the initiative, hopefully your data quality will improve:

Country: NL | The Netherlands

European Union: false

Time Zone: Europe/Amsterdam

Calling Code: +0

Currency: Unknown

Dag from .de :)

Same thing with the European Union here, but got the Calling Code and Currency right.

Thank you! That has been fixed.

What do you think would be considered a fast response time?
