mod_tile (gis/mod_tile) Updated: 2 years, 4 months ago Add to my watchlist

Renders map tiles with mapnik and serves them using Apache and mod_tile

mod_tile is a system to serve raster tiles for example to use within a slippy map. It provides a dynamic combination of efficient caching and on the fly rendering. Due to its dynamic rendering, only a small fraction of overall tiles need to be kept on disk, reducing the resources required. At the same time, its caching strategy allows for a high performance serving and can support several thousand requests per second.
