Hi Brett, You can use shp2pgsql (https://postgis.net/docs/using_postgis_dbmanagement.html#shp2pgsql_usage <https://postgis.net/docs/using_postgis_dbmanagement.html#shp2pgsql_usage>) to load your shapefile into PostGIS. From there you can follow this example: https://github.com/legiongis/arches4-geo-examples/tree/master/tileserver/postgis <https://github.com/legiongis/arches4-geo-examples/tree/master/tileserver/postgis>
With data of that size, you’ll probably need to be thoughtful about how you craft your TileStache config (http://tilestache.org/doc/ <http://tilestache.org/doc/>) taking into consideration zoom levels and caching to optimize performance. You’ll also need to style your data according to the Mapbox Style Spec (https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec/ <https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec/>). You may find Maputnik (https://maputnik.github.io/ <https://maputnik.github.io/>) useful as a GUI for building to this spec. I hope that helps! - Rob > On Jun 29, 2019, at 11:33 AM, Brett Ferguson <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Alina - > > Thanks for following up with this.
