← Back to Martin Tile Server roadmap
Native vector tile generation from DuckDB databases, including the spatial extension and DuckLake.
Since DuckDB 1.4 ships ST_AsMVT and ST_AsMVTGeom, Martin can talk to DuckDB similarly to how it talks to PostGIS today — opening a path for Parquet, DuckLake, and GeoParquet stacks to serve tiles directly, without a PostgreSQL proxy in front.
Key capabilities:
- Table, view, and function-based tile sources
- Automatic schema discovery and catalog generation
- File-backed and in-memory databases, including remote object storage
- Built on the new
martin-corearchitecture
Being implemented by @manbhav234 as a Google Summer of Code 2026 project.
