Kaartlijn

Vector tiles without the pipeline

Kaartlijn turns a folder of GeoJSON into served vector tiles. No PostGIS, no tile server to babysit — point it at a directory and it watches, indexes and serves.

Incremental indexing

Only changed features are re-tiled. A 2 GB dataset reindexes in seconds.

MVT out of the box

Standard Mapbox Vector Tiles at /t/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf.

Single binary

No runtime dependencies. Drop it on a VPS and run.

Attribute filters

Server-side filtering by attribute before tiles are cut.

Quick start

kaartlijn serve ./data --port 8080

Documentation is being rewritten for the 0.7 release. In the meantime the changelog covers most of the new flags.
