Is TiTiler a good choise for my requirements?

[mohadib]

Hello! I would like to use COG files that never change as a tile source for my Deck.GL app. I was thinking of using TiTiler to parse the COGs and return image tiles on demand. I would put this behind a CDN as the COGs never change. Is this a good use case for TiTiler? Thanks!

Hi @mohadib

Does your rendering option would need to change over time? would you want to support multiple TileMatrixSet (projection, other than WebMercator)?

If you're COG would never change nor the way you create the tiles, TBH you might have better results using PMTiles https://docs.protomaps.com/pmtiles/

Thanks @vincentsarago . Do you suggest PMTiles just to have less infrastructure to deal with? My only hesitance in using PMTiles is that it requires the map render to know how to deal with it, unlike just using standard slippy map tiles that everything can use.

yes, but if you're not going to change the file nor use the power of titiler it feels weird so I would just use more static approach using pmtiles or x/y/z tiles in a cloud storage

Most clients can work with PMTiles directly these days but if you need a x/y/z service you can have a look at https://github.com/developmentseed/thatchertiler
