Building dynamic tiles server with Python

Creating dynamic tiles servers for raster and vector datasets. Fast, reliable and customizable , TiTiler and Tipg are two python modules aiming at creating production ready tiles servers.

From raster or vector datasets to map tiles without pre-processing! Dynamic tile services creates map tiles on the fly, at user request. Over the past years we've focused on building open source tools to ease the creation of Dynamic tiles server with our two flagship projects TiTiler and TiPg. Built on top FastAPI and Pydantic, they are fast, reliable and production ready.

This presentation will demonstrate the features of TiPG and TiTiler and how you can use them to creat your own dynamic tilers.

Following the work we did with TiTiler (a python module which is designed to create Raster services), we decided to develop the same kind of project but for Vector. Using Postgres/PostGIS as datasource and FastAPI/Pydantic for the web framework, TiPG is a lightweight application which user can include into their own FastAPI application and easily customized.

During this session I'll go over the design principle of the TiPg python module and also show some of its great features.
Over the recent years, Cloud Optimized Raster format have gain popularity not only because they ease access but also because the enable fast visualisation of the data. During this talk I'll go over the principles of dynamic tiling and talk about the different cloud optimized raster format. I'll also present the latest news about TiTiler.
