`ThatcherTiler`* is a lightweight Raster/Vector tiles server based on the great [**PM**Tiles](https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles) *Cloud-optimized + compressed single-file tile archives for vector and raster maps*.

While the original idea behind *PMTiles* is to create a single file which can be accessed directly from map client (e.g https://protomaps.com/docs/frontends/maplibre) some map client yet do not support it (e.g `Mapbox`) while a need for a `tile server` between the map client and the archive.

`ThatcherTiler` is a **DEMO** project to showcase the use of [aiopmtiles](https://github.com/developmentseed/aiopmtiles).

*`ThatcherTiler` name comes from a long a intense debate among @nerik, @kamicut, @batpad and @vincentsarago to find the better of the worse name. `Thatcher` is a reference to [`Margaret Thatcher`](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher) which was once **P**rime **M**inister of the United Kingdom.
