* `metafile` read and serve tiles from a directory of files in metatiles-format

* `memcached`: serve tiles from memory

* `tirex` request & deliver tiles from tirex metatiles renderer (derived from [osm tileserver](http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/tirex/tileserver/))

* `tiles` A mirroring map tile proxy (derived from [tilethief](https://github.com/yetzt/tilethief.git))

* `wms` A mirroring map tile proxy for [wms-server](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Map_Service)

* `mapnik` Render tiles with [mapnik](https://github.com/mapnik) (derived from [tilelive-mapnik](https://github.com/mapbox/tilelive-mapnik))
