tileserver-gl

Something like https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl can serve raster tiles from a vector tile dataset

I've been using TileServer GL for a while and it looks like there is support for pmtiles coming soon. https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl/pull/1009

Firstly, I just want to say thanks for the reply, but more so thanks for your work, its moving opensource mapping forward. In my work we are looking at switching from mbtiles hosted with tilserver-gl(https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl) to pmtiles to remove a server process. But we were self hosting already and we are already using maplibre-gl 2. I can see why the implementation in the blog post would be better for high traffic deployments (ours isn't). It also points out to me I don't understand how a CDN would handle range request for hosting the pmtiles file directly, it probably doesn't? As far as the mapbox stuff,in my mind, pmtiles is a direct competitor (successor) to the mbtiles format, which was a revolution in comparison to everything that came before it. A successor I welcome because it makes it even easier for me as a d

https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl makes it really easy. I have a pretty simple pipeline set up to download an OSM extract, convert it to MBTiles, host it in CloudFlare, and render raster tiles with this software.

I've switched over a fairly large transit client to PMTiles hosted on CloudFlare for their dynamic map and am switching another large transit client to using https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl with MBTiles and the same style.json to generate static maps. It's all gone swimmingly and we've cut costs by about $1,000 a month.

I would also like to throw in planetiler[0] and tileserver-gl[1] which I am happily running to serve vector tiles for some regions in Germany. [0]: https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler [1]: https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl

- Linode Shared CPU 4 GB RAM, 2 CPU Cores, 80GB SSD ($20 / month) - Cloudflare Workers ($5 / month) I downloaded a tileset file (.mbtiles extension) for the whole planet (latest I can find for free is here [1]). Tileset file is just a SQLite database with a table where each row contains the x/y/z coordinates of a tile and a binary blob containing the corresponding GeoJSON of features as a protobuf (commonly referred to as a vector tile). You can start tileserver-gl-light[2] (light only serves vector tiles) pointing to the .mbtiles file (Ideally I think you slice the .mbtiles file into individual tiles and put them in something like S3 but it will cost $$$ and time) and it performs remarkably well given that it's serving an 60GB+ .mbtiles file from SSD, not RAM. I have an nginx proxy in front of tileserver-gl-light as I use the Linode for

Thanks for the pointers -- Leaflet I know as the visualization layer that is basically not-mapbox-GL. The rest are new to me, and will crawl through them. One of the nice out-of-the-box systems I've come across is Pelias[0], what are your opinions on it? It bundles and provides the API so it's one of the things I've thought to self-host if I'm going to. It looks like it doesn't do tiles so I'd need to find something for that? From deep in my bookmarks I also have: - https://github.com/tidwall/tile38 (in-memory search+geofencing+other) - https://openlayers.org/ (visualization, alternative to leaflet?) - https://download.geofabrik.de/ (where to actually download the OSM data, to hand it to something like PostGIS) - https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl (A tile server... which presumably needs OSM data & takes coordinates with bounding b
