If you are building billing integrations for FinOps or CloudOps, I have bad news: the data you just fetched from that SaaS API is probably wrong.

What can be a potential use case for something like this?

I hate hand-tagging my cloud resources.

I think egress costs are the primary factor behind "cloud bill shock". Tracking and understanding them is a key to avoid surprises when you get your monthly invoice from cloud provider.

My thoughts exactly. I am now working on this problem myself and I will share my results soon.

Looking forward!

This probably will depend on CDN. Google's CDN is part of the Load Balancer itself and therefore it won't affect geolocation. With "3rd party" CDNs it's different, of course.

Finally, the free version of MaxMind is great. Thanks for mentioning it.

It would be pretty easy to build. Probably something you can do end-to-end in one or two days.
