Hello everyone,
So I’ve used @SomeoneElse’s guide to creating a tile server (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:SomeoneElse/Ubuntu_1604_tileserver_load). Right now the renderd tiles are being cached/stored in a folder system on the server /var/lib/mod_tile/.
We’re trying to figure out if there are any ways to cut the costs of requests and cache tiles with memcache and/or CDN. Our server will be getting about 1k-10k requests per minute. We’ve already installed the mapnik vector tiles in order to cut costs (https://github.com/mapbox/mapnik-vector-tile). We’re trying to figure out how much this will cost and if we could possibly knock those costs down.
I know that there is an option to use Squid (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_Proxy/squid), so I imagine that someone has done it for memcache and a CDN.
However, I have not found anything online of anyone doing this before.
Has anyone here used memcache and/or a CDN in the past with their tile server, and what steps need to be done for both of these methods?
