Introducing Lightning: Real-time editing for tiled data

Lightning is a groundbreaking tiling engine developed to resolve the longstanding trade-off in GIS systems between fast map rendering and data editability. Built on the open-source Tippecanoe engine, Lightning allows for instant editing of millions of geospatial features while maintaining the high performance of pre-generated tiles. This innovation eliminates the need for slow performance with editable data, the lengthy regeneration of tiles after edits, or the management of two separate data versions. Lightning's merge-on-demand architecture integrates base tiles, an edit database, and a dynamic tiling engine to enable real-time updates and consistent performance across any dataset size. It supports simultaneous multi-user edits and dynamic statistics updates, ensuring data is always current. Lightning is now integrated into Felt's platform, allowing users to experience seamless, real-time data editing and visualization without any additional setup.
