Hi Daniel, Despite it's a pretty old thread regarding feeding OSRM with postgis geometries, I have new lights to bring up

I work for a company which is interested to use osrm as a router for public works (not cycling nor car or whatever). We have lot of private data we process into a postgresql db in which osm data is also imported. OSM XML file production at the end of our process generate a lot of overhead as to feed osrm. This doesn't bring advantage at all. > We're using https://github.com/osmcode/libosmium in the osrm-extract > binary; you theoretically _could_ switch it out with calls to your database > but that will be a bigger lift I guess, and we don't want to add arbitrary > data source drivers to OSRM. > We think about creating another connector which would enable osrm-extract to get its data directly for pgsql. Currently we're not aware of how deep the xml/libosmium is linked to osrm-extract binary. Our use cases enlarge the potential and relevance of osrm in industrial/profesionnal use. We look to be as constructive as possible and it will be a pleasure to share since osrm is great tool. All the best François
