MapProxy is a lightweight geospatial proxy server supporting WMTS, WMS, and TMS. We utilize its plugin system to enable COG, vector tiles, and 3D Tiles support, facilitating integration of modern 2D/3D geospatial formats into open-source enterprise GIS workflows with enhanced interoperability, scalability, and cost-efficiencies in enterprise environments.
As the demand for modern geospatial data formats grows, integrating 2D and 3D content into open-source GIS infrastructures becomes increasingly critical. This talk presents our work on extending MapProxy—a widely used open-source tile and proxy server—to support next-generation geospatial formats through a modular plugin architecture.
We introduce new plugins that enable seamless support for:
- Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COG)
- Vector tiles
- 3D Tiles
These enhancements allow MapProxy to serve as a unified gateway for both traditional and modern geospatial services. They enable seamless integration of high-performance, scalable 2D and 3D data delivery into enterprise workflows, while preserving compatibility with established OGC standards such as WMS, WMTS, and TMS.
Attendees will gain insights into:
- The architecture and design of the plugin system
- Implementation details
- Deployment strategies
