Hi all,
I thought that since the ORS instance for our research project is mostly idle, we would share it with the community. So you can spam it with your matrix and route requests without having to set up Europe yourself. Note that isochrones and elevation are disabled and that we chose settings to minimize RAM usage. The only purpose of this server for us is, to quickly compute large distance matrices across Europe.
Use at your own risk, I give no guarantees, I might revoke public access at any time, and so on, blablabla, here it is:

Map is Europe from Geofabrik, downloaded some days ago and this is the current config:

The server was capable of computing a 1000 x 1000 fastest car distance matrix across random locations in Germany in under 9 minutes. You can split up larger matrices into multiple smaller requests by cutting the original matrix into rectangles. Please don’t do a lot of 1000 x 1000 requests at a time, that might crash it, it restarts automatically within a few minutes. There is no rate limit, you can spam simple routing requests however fast you feel like.
Best regards and have fun
