Where Sarkoa fits
What you can ship
Publish interactive maps without standing up tile infrastructure for each story.
Ship deadline-ready embeds that work on mobile from the first publish.
Refresh data and framing on a live map instead of rebuilding static graphics.
How Sarkoa helps
Capabilities that fit the workflow
Upload once, publish fast
Drop in GeoJSON or Shapefile. Sarkoa allows your files to be streamed from anywhere. No tile-building pipeline to run yourself.
Embeds that fit your CMS
Paste a public map link or iframe into your article template. Readers pan and zoom without leaving the page.
Storage-first pricing
Pay for the files you host, with no download fees. Paid plans include unlimited tiles under fair use for normal story traffic.
Draft privately, publish when ready
Keep work-in-progress maps behind signed URLs until the story ships, then flip to a public embed.
