IPinfo shrinks MMDB database files by 33%
Original: How we made our MMDB files a 33% smaller
IPinfo has published a technical write-up explaining how it reduced the size of its MMDB files, the format commonly used to distribute IP geolocation databases, by roughly a third. The post walks through the engineering decisions behind the compression work. Developers on Hacker News are discussing the optimizations and what they mean for anyone shipping large lookup databases to customers.
Why now: Engineers are interested in practical techniques for cutting the size of widely used IP database files.
