minus-square@boramalperOPlinkEnglish10•5 months agoYou mean how much faster downloading vector tiles are in comparison to raster tiles? I think pre-rendering makes the biggest difference, rather than the type of tiles.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish21•5 months agoLoading vector tiles should require significantly less data/bandwidth while also offering completely linear scaling without any steps. I hope this works well enough to eventually replace the current implementation.
minus-square@errerlinkEnglish7•5 months agoIt says in the repo that each file is 450 bytes. And served by nginx which might be compressing it further. So yeah, super duper tiny.
