Description

Map tiles can be rendered in the background with Mapnik for web map services. Administrators and GIS teams use this daemon when tile requests need generated images from local map data.

It is a rendering service that can consume significant CPU, disk, and memory. Data sources, cache directories, queue limits, and map licenses should be reviewed before production use.
