titiler-application
A modern dynamic tile server built on top of FastAPI and Rasterio/GDAL.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need a ready-to-run tile server for raster geospatial data. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. It is most valuable as a demo or starting point rather than a production service—for production use, you would typically customize it by extending titiler's modular components. The MIT license poses no restrictions.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.11 or later; a web server is needed to run the FastAPI application.
- Low friction: ships as a wheel and depends on six titiler packages that form a cohesive ecosystem.
- Maintenance is active with a recent release 16 days old and steady repository activity.

What it is and what it does
titiler.application is a demonstration FastAPI web service that serves raster geospatial data as map tiles. It builds on titiler-core, titiler-extensions, titiler-mosaic, and titiler-xarray to provide a complete, runnable tile server with support for Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs, MosaicJSON mosaics, STAC catalogs, and xarray-backed datasets. The application includes a landing page, configurable caching and CORS settings, and exposes OGC-compliant tile endpoints.
The package is intended as both a reference implementation and a starting point for custom tile-serving applications. It demonstrates how to compose titiler's modular components into a working service and can be launched immediately after installation. It targets geospatial professionals, data engineers, and researchers who need to publish raster data as web-accessible tiles.
Use it for
- Launch a tile server for Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs without writing custom FastAPI code.
- Serve STAC collections and MosaicJSON mosaics as interactive map tiles.
- Prototype or demo a geospatial tile API before building a production service.
- Integrate xarray-backed climate or scientific data into a web mapping application.
- Explore titiler's capabilities and architecture through a working reference application.
