Summary

Rendering geospatial data on digital maps poses challenges, especially when dealing with extensive datasets. Conventional approaches involve transferring and hosting data in intermediate mapping infrastructure, introducing inefficiencies and costs. To overcome these challenges, CARTO has developed Dynamic Tiling, a mechanism that progressively generates tiles on demand based on SQL queries. This approach enables seamless integration of interactive maps into cloud-native applications without compromising performance or requiring complex ETLs. By leveraging native functions available in modern data warehouse platforms, CARTO's implementation overcomes limitations such as feature dropping and caching to provide fast and efficient rendering of large datasets. With Dynamic Tiling, users can focus on developing cutting-edge geospatial applications while ensuring the integrity of their data visualizations.
