Hello! I’m at the very beginning of a new Cesium project, and I’m just a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Hoping people can point me to some documentation.
- Is there a high level architecture doc for Cesium? I see CesiumJS, Cesium Native C++ API, etc. I’m speculating that under the hood Cesium is built in C++, with an API support to Javascript. Is that accurate?
- Is there documentation specific to running an on-premises instance of Cesium?
- Any minimum hardware specs for an on-premises project?
- I understand that Cesium Ion requires a subscription. Does the Ion API require a subscription, or just the products provided by Cesium via Ion?
