I am developing on OSRM.
OSRM is done by Mapbox guys, Valhalla team has joined Mapbox.
PGrouting is very slow.
OSRM expects data in OSM/PBF format for parsing. there are no Postgis plugins to export to OSM/PBF.
QGIS is a friend.
OSRM is fast but needs 2 times the size of index as memory, for one server we are using 36gb RAM.
Openstreetmap has many abandoned projects, does not have many features available in commercial projects.
openstreetmap needs a fork to make it competitive for current generation of GIS apps.
