Compare TileServer GL with alternatives
TileServer GL vs Martin
Martin is a lightweight open-source vector tile server under MapLibre that serves PostGIS, MBTiles and PMTiles, but it does not render raster tiles from GL styles.
TileServer GL vs VersaTiles
A free, self-hostable stack for generating, serving and styling OpenStreetMap vector map tiles.
TileServer GL vs GeoServer
GeoServer publishes many spatial data sources through OGC standards like WMS, WFS and WMTS, but it requires more GIS knowledge to set up and run.
TileServer GL vs MapProxy
An open-source proxy that caches, speeds up and reprojects map tile and WMS services.
TileServer GL vs pg_tileserv
pg_tileserv is a small Apache-2.0 Go server that turns PostGIS tables and functions into vector tiles, but works only with PostGIS and serves no raster tiles.
TileServer GL vs Tegola
Tegola is an MIT-licensed Go vector tile server that slices your own geospatial data into tiles with built-in cache seeding, leaving styling and display to a separate client.
TileServer GL vs Protomaps
Protomaps serves maps from a single static PMTiles file with no tile server running, and commercial use of its hosted API requires sponsorship.
