Hey @fischgeek
, thank you for asking. Here is the tech stack:
🌐IP and its location by ipstack.com/
🗺️Map by Google Map & styled by snazzymaps.com/
💻Frontend - Vanilla JS & Backend - AWS Lambda
As you said, Most of the IP Geolocation API's do not expose in https in their free plan. So had to come up with AWS Lambda which will invoke the http API and serve the response to the static website in https.
Hopefully, when people love it and we get more hits every day, then we will upgrade to the paid plan and eventually remove the AWS Lambda.

Very cool! Mind if I reach out to you directly for a couple questions?
Sure!
