Mastering Location-Based Services: A Guide to Finding the Closest Locations Using Java Spring Boot

Are you looking to optimize location-based services in your Java Spring Boot application? Whether you're building an app like Zomato or an e-commerce platform, efficiently finding the closest locations is crucial. I've just published a comprehensive guide that dives into distance calculations and optimization strategies that can significantly improve your application's performance.

Overview:
In my latest article, I detail methods for efficiently finding the nearest locations from a cluster of coordinates. The guide covers techniques like bounding box filtering and using the ST_Distance function. A key highlight is the performance optimization I achieved—reducing query response time from 6 seconds to just 0.3 seconds for 1 million records. This guide is designed to enhance both performance and scalability, making it a valuable resource for developers working with location-based services.

Curious to learn more? Dive into the full article on Medium for an in-depth look at optimizing your location-based services. Read the full article here!
