I'm not really sure how tirex works. Furthermore I don't know the
integration would be,  because if you take out the generation and tile
serving from this server you just have a HTTP route handler.

mod_tile would receive a request, check if a tile is already on disk, if it is, deliver it, if it is not, hand over to tirex; tirex would add the tile creation request to a queue, and call your engine to produce the tile, making sure that to too many requests are executed at once and prioritising them nicely (so you could e.g. afford a high priority to live requests from users, and a lower priority for background refresh tasks).

The actual creation of the tile would still be done by your code, mod_tile and tirex would just make sure that you don't have to bother with managing your disk cache, render queues, priorities and all that.

Bye
