titiler VS go-pmtiles

There's a lot to like about GDAL+Rasterio, although I've found having all HTTP requests go through GDAL's C API does result in some limitations on concurrency and multithreading. GDAL's configuration being based entirely on env vars also has its downsides: https://github.com/developmentseed/titiler/issues/186

TiMVT and TiFeatures, along with TiTiler for raster services, complete a trio of python-FastAPI services. The current roadmap includes merging TiFeatures & TiMVT, the vector-based services, into a single project to reduce code redundancy.

COGs are great, but from my experience micro services like titiler don't support complex styling logic. Is there a possibility to create a serverless WMS service with complex styling requirements?

Consider something like titiler if you want to serve the pile of geotiffs out to the web.

We were able to host 10gb six band rasters as well as 2cm RGB split into 100m tiles on S3 using COGS, mosaic.json and the TiTiler project which is powered by AWS lambda functions

I just used their pmtiles tool to grab a map of just the area around Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco.

I grabbed the latest macOS Go binary from https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles/releases

I found a rough bounding box using http://bboxfinder.com/#37.373977,-122.593346,37.570977,-122....

Then I ran this:

    pmtiles extract https://build.protomaps.com/20231023.pmtiles hmb.pmtiles \

Yes, PMTiles is a tradeoff that isn't appropriate for transactional use cases. SQLite is pretty good for that already.

There is a throughput limit on S3 files of approximately 5500 GETs/sec per key. Bare archives on S3 is an appropriate choice for small-scale, zero maintenance deployments. If your application demands any thing close to that level of throughput, you're probably either:

* Serving individual tiles over the internet: you should use the CDN integration http://protomaps.com/docs/cdn ; most tile requests will be cached and only misses will interact with the S3 bottleneck.

* Bulk accessing a spatial subset of tiles: You shouldn't be requesting HTTP GETs for single tiles, but instead entire subsets of tiles with a single Range request made possible by the internal Hilbert curve ordering. This is still WIP here: https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles/issues/31
