## What it is
Tegola is an open-source Mapbox Vector Tile (MVT) server written in Go that slices geospatial data from PostGIS, GeoPackage, or SAP HANA into vector tiles for map clients. It supports geometry processing, multiple cache backends (file, S3, Redis, Azure), cache seeding, and can run as a standalone server or on AWS Lambda.

## Use cases
- serve mapbox vector tiles from postgis data
- self-host a vector tile server for web maps
- serve mvt tiles to openlayers or mapbox gl clients
- cache and seed vector tiles to s3 or redis
- run a tile server on aws lambda
- visualize geospatial data with an embedded map viewer

## When to choose
- you need to serve Mapbox Vector Tiles from PostGIS or GeoPackage data
- you want a high-performance Go tile server with parallelized tile generation
- you need tile caching backends like S3, Redis, or Azure blob storage
- you want serverless tile serving via AWS Lambda

## When to avoid
- you need raster tile rendering or styled map images rather than vector tiles
- you need a full map styling/rendering engine like Mapnik or TileServer GL
- your data lives in providers other than PostGIS, GeoPackage, or SAP HANA

## Facets
