It's used (or even built) by Mapbox? Very cool! Thanks for the pointer!

MapBox hired the Valhalla team after Mapzen went out of business.

Valhalla is fantastic, especially since it can run completely offline. I had a project where I had to calculate isochrones of different radii around 10s of thousands of points. Using an online API would have taken several hours to run and cost a non-trivial amount of money.

By downloading the OSM data and running Valhalla locally I could process the data in minutes completely for free
