What made me think of clustering the markers is that more markers on the map consume more resources. After some research, I found that rendering thousands of markers on Google Maps is not yet optimized in Flutter.
To further optimize, I need to find a way to limit the maximum number of items in a single cluster. Flattening a small cluster doesn’t impact performance much, but when a cluster containing thousands of markers is flattened, the map starts to lag.
