Re: [postgis-users] Postgres as cache and renderer for vector tile server

I use TileStache for my tile layers (http://tilestache.org/doc/), all data stored in PostGIS. While my tiles are raster images rendered with Mapnik, TileStache also now has Vector support, which might meet your needs: ( http://tilestache.org/doc/TileStache.Vector.html). TileStache is very simple

Re: [postgis-users] Postgres as cache and renderer for vector tile server

ISTM that map-specific tile caching solutions are mostly there to provide things that generic HTTP caching systems don't do, like metatiling, or guttering the map requests. If you don't need those features, I think a generic HTTP cache in front of your web service would be the most architecturally

Re: [postgis-users] Postgres as cache and renderer for vector tile server

Hey Peter - no dumb endeavors only dumb implementations :)? Don't know if my implementation is dumb or not but I am currently using Drupal to generate GeoJSON vectors. Since Drupal has caching in it's core I am relying on it to provide this which it seems to do OK (up to about 500 points it

[postgis-users] Postgres as cache and renderer for vector tile server

Hi all, Has anyone here tried using Postgres as the caching layer in a vector tile server? I need to set up a tile server and what I am thinking is have PostGIS cut up geometries into GeoJSON vector tiles as requests come in and cache the JSON for said requests in some other Postgres table(s)
