Either way, I agree with blensor here, there's no new info on the railway incident itself but mostly about google's direction towards antigravity.
About the author of the video mentioning that he's scared, unfortunately, that has always been the case with Journalism/columnists etc, speaking ill of the platform which you use to sell your wares tends to backfire. Wish him all the luck
Congratulations on the release but the comparison with Tableau is just plain wrong? Not affiliated with them in any way, just using it on and off for over a decade.
OrcaSheets also has per seat pricing, except the local installer which only processes csvs?
Tableau server can also deployed on prem with all the features and there's definitely good pricing available on larger contracts :)
You seem to have a great product and the space is ripe for alternatives so you can just say it's cheaper and faster
Thanks for the feedback. We are not trying to compete with tableau here. Tableau is more in the BI vertical, we are an OLAP engine, closer to redshift, snowflake, and the like. The main difference is, we move the entire compute component of data warehousing to your local hardware. The idea is to help orgs in optimising their cloud costs with improved data security.
OrcaSheets for organizations is not priced per seat, we charge per million rows of data. We function more like a data warehouse with unlimited seat access.
Would love to talk more about your usecase, and how we can help you. Please mail us at [email protected]
PMTiles is actually pretty agnostic to what kind of tiles it contains! There is already a PMTiles PR that updates the byte that specifies the type of tile to include MLT.
PMtiles is often used with MVT tiles, but it can encapsulate a variety of tile types: the current spec [1] has defined tile types for MVT, PNG, JPEG, WebP and AVIF (plus "Unknown/Other").
It's very cool! If you want to get higher cache hit rates from a CDN or redis etc. and lower the amount of S3 reads, you can get set up a proxy to convert `/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt` requests into the byte-range requests: https://docs.protomaps.com/deploy/
Brandon has some example code you can lift to dump it into a Cloudflare Worker or other platforms on that page.
Thank you.
I'm going to try this on a different project that we have. Our current deployment is designed to work directly through s3/api gateway which reduces the number of moving parts.
We update the tiles frequently, so the setup has been amazing for us.
