About Tegola
Tegola takes geospatial data, such as PostGIS databases and GeoPackage files, and slices it into vector tiles that any map client can load. It runs as a self-hosted server with HTTP endpoints for tiles and includes commands for seeding and purging a tile cache.
Binaries for different systems are published on GitHub, and the documentation covers configuration, cache handling, logging and debugging. It suits people building their own web maps who want to serve their data without a hosted tile service.
Strengths
- Serves vector tiles from your own geospatial data
- Built-in cache seeding and purging
- Prebuilt downloads with documentation and tutorials
Limitations
- Requires configuration and some GIS knowledge
- Serves tiles only; styling and display happen in a separate client
