Where to begin
Where to begin. We embarked 2 years ago to develop using Mapbox. I could write a novel. They have absolutely zero customer service at all. Like you cannot get in touch with anyone. They steer you to their discord which is mostly for devops and regardless, we never had a single question answered on discord. Their naps are incredibly out of date. Changes in Open street map (which Mapbox gets their data from) almost never updated in Mapbox. We were attracted to some of the API's Mapbox offers out of the box but if you get zero answers about their products why would you take the leap to invest all that dev time with the added risk of knowing this company is an apparition. They seem quite focused on auto manufacturer implementation and that's great, but their mobile and web sdk's API's I have no idea what they are doing or why they bother if they're not going to engage with the customer. I've never...in 20 years of software dev ever had a company actively ignore like this. A an industry partner of ours stated they got the paid support plan and received one canned answer, and then received zero responses when submitting tickets on their PAID plan which they cancelled. This is why we didn't bother to go the paid route. It really is a shame because some of their API's are quite creative. It seems like unless you're an established Fortune 500 company they literally could care less about you. I highly doubt they ignore instacart. You would basically have to go all in on dev and hope once you get traffic that makes them money they would pay attention. Either way, we switched to another solution and we're happy. It has added dev time for us since we aren't using their API's but in the end much better to own your code anyhow. I must have tried 5 different ways over the course of 6months to get in contact with someone at this company without exaggeration. I'd steer clear at all costs if possible. They have a lot of work to do. Frankly, Its a choice to be this unresponsive and they prob have decided they don't have the resources to dedicate to every fly by night programmer making a map for their college print, but we are not that. We are a well established revenue generating company..
