Protomaps is a independent project to build a new map of the world. This scale of mission demands a wide range of novel frontend and backend components, like an open source spatial database, a serverless tile archive format, and a vector map renderer. There’s also a web application — the one you’re looking at now — with subsystems to process background tasks, ingest metrics and manage objects on cloud storage. Finally, there’s the core map engine for cartographic generalization and tiling of OpenStreetMap data, which you can access at Protomaps Downloads.
