If your data is already in GeoJSON, you can use tippecanoe to produce a tileset in either MBTiles or PMTiles format: https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe.
Or if your data is more dynamic, you can also use the ST_AsMVT extension to query PostGIS, which will generate tiles on-the-fly: https://postgis.net/docs/ST_AsMVT.html

The maps are based on MapLibre (Mapbox fork) so any valid Mapbox style can also be applied.

Ah, sorry to hear about that! I actually just pushed a fix for a similar crashing issue in Firefox, would be curious to hear if that resolved your issues as well.

Thanks!

I moved the createBuffer call out of the render loop, and I think the memory issues on FF should be working better (at least on FF 103).

Great pointers, I’ll give these a shot. Still new to this so appreciate the suggestions!

I believe Protomaps[1] might be what you’re looking for.

Good callout, I’ll add that in. Most map libs add that automatically, so an oversight on my part.

Yeah, that’s precisely why I didn’t tackle that. I was wondering though, does it render text in GL on the web, or leverage the DOM? (I’m just using absolute positioning for the tile labels)

Interesting, my hunch would be something about the webgl buffers not getting freed, since they’re running in a tight loop. I’ll do some digging.

Ah, was afraid that might happen. I’m doing some pretty aggressive CF caching, but it’s running on a very small (single instance) server :(
—- update
Looks like I hit the CF worker limit. Should be back up and running. Thanks for the heads up!

Mostly just because I was using https://webglfundamentals.org/ as my main resource. Will probably take a stab at implementing with WebGPU at some point.

Yeah, I think this is a known issue with hammer.js[1]. I noticed it too, but didn't spend too much time digging in.
