Well done. Every conpany with maps otherwise needs their own daily diff server.

The challenge tho is running it over years reliably especially if something in upstream OSM breaks.

How else were you going to do it than ingesting the new data constantly, if you're a company who needs regular updates? You need a server, either to pull the whole planet file over and over or to pull the trickle of minute by minute diffs. Might as well opt for diffs
