Vector tiles with GeoServer
09-09, 13:00–16:00 (America/Chicago), Anheuser-Busch

Learn how to build and serve vector tiles with GeoServer, and how GeoServer can be well suited to mixed serving use cases (raster + vector), dynamic data, as well as handling different views based on the current user security clearance.


GeoServer is well known for its wide support for classic OGC services. But does it handle vector tiles?
Yes, it does, but dealing with the assumptions of the XYZ ecosystem requires some simple preparations.
The set up of the scale dependencies and data sources may also be new to those already used to vector tiles, while it comes more naturally to those having a OGC service background.

Join this workshop to learn basics about vector tiles, their usage, the performance factors, how to setup GeoServer for painless usage, and how to use vector tiles with the tools in the XYZ ecosystem.
