Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

For the GIS Administrators and System Architects here: If your organization relies on QGIS and you need a way to publish maps that is both secure and extremely fast, Iā€™d like to introduce you to Qtiler.

:hammer_and_wrench: What is Qtiler? It is an Open Source Node.js application that leverages QGIS Desktop native libraries to serve data. It turns your .qgs/.qgz projects into standard OGC services without the overhead of Java-based middleware.

:office_building: Why is this beneficial for your Organization?

  1. :high_voltage: Speed & Scalability: Built on Node.js, it handles concurrent requests efficiently. Pre-rendered WMTS/XYZ tiles load instantly, removing load from your database.

  2. :locked: Security: By serving pre-rendered tiles or controlled WFS, you reduce direct exposure to your backend databases. It sits perfectly behind IIS/Nginx reverse proxies.

  3. :artist_palette: Data Integrity: No more SLD translation errors. What you see in QGIS Desktop is exactly what gets served to your web clients (QGIS, Leaflet, OpenLayers, Origo, Lizmap, ArcGIS).

  4. :chart_decreasing: Low Maintenance: No complex XML configurations. It reads your QGIS project file directly.

Capabilities:

  • Dynamic: WMS & WFS

  • Static/Cached: WMTS & XYZ (Directory or MBTiles)

Get started: It requires QGIS Desktop and Node.js.

Happy to answer any questions regarding deployment or performance benchmarks! BR/ Abel
