Martin is a fast, lightweight Rust-based tile server that serves Mapbox Vector Tiles from PostGIS databases, MBTiles, PMTiles, GeoJSON, and GeoParquet sources. It also includes tooling for bulk tile generation (martin-cp) and MBTiles inspection, copying, validation, and diffing.

Use cases

• serve vector tiles from a PostGIS database for a web map
• host MBTiles or PMTiles files as a tile server
• generate vector tiles on the fly from GeoJSON files
• bulk export tiles into an MBTiles archive
• validate and compare MBTiles files
• serve map styles, sprites, and font glyphs for MapLibre GL
• combine multiple tile sources into one endpoint
• proxy tiles from an upstream tile server

When to choose

• you need a high-performance, self-hosted vector tile server
• your map data lives in PostGIS and you want automatic table/function discovery
• you want a single tool to serve MBTiles, PMTiles, and dynamic sources
• you need tile generation tooling alongside the server

When to avoid

• you need raster tile rendering from raw geospatial data
• you want a full GIS platform rather than a tile server
• you need GeoParquet support as a stable feature (currently unstable via DuckDB)
