There are also alternatives like tileserver-gl-light (without rasterization) or tileserver-php. If you have raster tiles (already prepared in advance) and you only need to serve them, the TileServerGL is perfectly sufficient. This is especially useful when working with vector map data (such as OpenMapTiles) and dynamically creating raster tiles from such data. It is also much easier to set up than TileServerGL.
It’s a complete package with caching and integrated map services (WMTS/WMS). OpenMapTiles Map Server is better suited for a production environment. The difference is summed up by one of their sales people like this:
I could use tileserver-gl or openmaptiles.
MAPTILER WITH MBTILES SOFTWARE
That post rekindled my interest in custom map generation and I knew that with the availability of Open Street Maps there is definitely an Open Source software which I can use. It wasn’t until recently that I came across an article where the author used Mapbox Studio to create a blueprint style map. I thought about this project for a while, tried working on it but quickly gave up because of how difficult it was to grasp the basics and get a map rendering pipeline running locally. My experience with maps was limited to Google Maps only so I was excited to explore the world of custom map generation. Now, I was interested in figuring out how they were able to render this map. The website has since closed down and the company has been acquired by Airbnb. Hi lovely people! 👋 Last year, I saw a project on Product Hunt which allowed people to generate posters from maps.
