The setup involves creating a Neon database table, writing a Vercel Edge Function that extracts geolocation from incoming requests, and a client-side Astro component using sendBeacon to fire page view events. Data can then be visualized as top countries/cities lists, SVG charts, or plotted on a 3D globe. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
