Oh pmtiles is such a simple and innovative solution!

Yes, Absolutely in love with it. Loading tiles with range requests made our application so much faster.

  • It's very cool! If you want to get higher cache hit rates from a CDN or redis etc. and lower the amount of S3 reads, you can get set up a proxy to convert `/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt` requests into the byte-range requests: https://docs.protomaps.com/deploy/

    Brandon has some example code you can lift to dump it into a Cloudflare Worker or other platforms on that page.

    • Thank you. I'm going to try this on a different project that we have. Our current deployment is designed to work directly through s3/api gateway which reduces the number of moving parts.

      We update the tiles frequently, so the setup has been amazing for us.
