TuilX

An extensible and composable WMTS server.

TuilX allows you to easily setup a WMTS server by creating and/or combining tile sources.

TuilX provides some basic sources like:

Source	Description
Geopackage	Reads WMTS tiles from geopackage files
Mapbox	Retrieves WMTS tiles from MapBox
ESAMaps	Retrieves WMTS tiles from the European Space Agency services

There are also utility sources (aka middleware) like:

Source	Description
Cacher	Adds a cache to a source
Masker	Applies masking to tiles
Resizer	Resizes tiles
Fallback	Retrieves a tile from a fallback source if the primary source fails
Tracer	Trace (opencensus) the retrieval of a tile from a source
Switcher	Switches among sources depending on conditions

The list of sources is potentially infinite, you can develop your own: any struct satisfying the following interface is a tile source:

type Source interface {
	GetTile(ctx context.Context, props tile.Properties) (*tile.Tile, error)
	Name() string
}

To setup your server you just need to provide a source:

// Create the web server
server := server.New(mySource)

where mySource is any of the basic sources or a combination of them. For example:

primary := source.NewESAMaps("s2cloudless-2018", esa-auth-token)
fb := source.NewMapBox("satellite-v9", mb-auth-token)
mySource := middleware.NewFallback(primary, fb)

will try to serve the requested tile from the Sentinel-2 ESA layer, and if retrieval fails, it will serve the tile from MapBox satellite layer.

If then you are interested in tracing the tile retrieval:

primary := source.NewESAMaps("s2cloudless-2018", esa-auth-token)
fb := source.NewMapBox("satellite-v9", mb-auth-token)
mySource := middleware.Trace(middleware.NewFallback(primary, fb))

Then you may decide to add a cache to MapBox source:

primary := source.NewESAMaps("s2cloudless-2018", esa-auth-token)
fb := middleware.NewCacher(myRedis, source.NewMapBox("satellite-v9", mb-auth-token))
mySource := middleware.Trace(middleware.NewFallback(primary, fb))

Take a look at cmd/tuilx-svr.go for a complete example.
