Apache Baremaps

Apache Baremaps offers a complete suite of tools and infrastructure for building and managing online mapping applications. It facilitates the creation and publication of custom vector tiles directly from PostGIS databases, making it efficient for both web and mobile map development. The platform also includes a powerful data pipeline that allows users to consolidate diverse spatial datasets from formats like OsmPbf, ShapeFile, GeoPackage, and FlatGeoBuf into PostGIS, ensuring seamless integration with existing workflows.

Beyond data management, Baremaps provides customizable themes for styling maps, featuring hot reloading for rapid design iteration. An integrated geocoder, built upon the GeoNames database, enables users to search for places and addresses, enhancing the interactivity of mapping applications. This open-source project is continuously evolving, with ongoing development to improve features and expand capabilities.
