MapProxy

MapProxy is an open-source proxy server for geospatial map services, designed to speed up map delivery through intelligent tile caching and to unify access to diverse map data sources. Written in Python, MapProxy sits between map clients and map data sources, caching rendered tiles and serving them efficiently to reduce load on backend map servers. MapProxy supports caching from WMS, WMTS, TMS, and MapboxMapboxMapbox is a robust platform that equips developers with tools to create highly customizable, interactive maps for web...-style tile sources, and can serve cached content through WMS, WMTS, TMS, and KML endpoints. It handles on-the-fly reprojection between coordinate reference systems, image format conversion, merging of multiple source layers into a single layer, and watermarking. Its seeding tool pre-generates tiles for specified areas and zoom levels, ensuring immediate availability. MapProxy stores tiles in various backends including filesystem, SQLite (MBTilesMBTilesMBTiles is an open specification for storing tiled map data in a single SQLite database file.

MapProxy is widely deployed by government agencies, mapping organizations, and enterprises to improve the performance and reliability of their geospatial web services. It is particularly valuable when backend WMS servers are slow or when clients need data in projections different from what the source provides.
