OrbStack is a very compelling alternative on macOS. The GUI launches instantly due to being a Swift app and not Electron. Container filesystems are visible in Finder. You can spin up full-blown VMs with it (only Linux ones though). Storage is managed dynamically, so you don't have to reserve or resize the virtual disk. Free for personal use, with zero nags or upsells.

I can attest, Orbstack has been a gamechanger. Happily paying for the pro license.

It's very cool! If you want to get higher cache hit rates from a CDN or redis etc. and lower the amount of S3 reads, you can get set up a proxy to convert `/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt` requests into the byte-range requests: https://docs.protomaps.com/deploy/

Brandon has some example code you can lift to dump it into a Cloudflare Worker or other platforms on that page.

Thank you. I'm going to try this on a different project that we have. Our current deployment is designed to work directly through s3/api gateway which reduces the number of moving parts.

We update the tiles frequently, so the setup has been amazing for us.

PMTiles is actually pretty agnostic to what kind of tiles it contains! There is already a PMTiles PR that updates the byte that specifies the type of tile to include MLT.

Oh wow, thank you, looking forward to this

Oh pmtiles is such a simple and innovative solution!

Yes, Absolutely in love with it. Loading tiles with range requests made our application so much faster.

PMtiles is often used with MVT tiles, but it can encapsulate a variety of tile types: the current spec [1] has defined tile types for MVT, PNG, JPEG, WebP and AVIF (plus "Unknown/Other").

Absolutely, we have MVT tiles at the moment, I'm hoping to test MLT soon

This is interesting. We recently deployed a solution that uses pmtiles and it's great.

https://docs.protomaps.com/pmtiles/

afaik, pmtiles uses mvt, let's hope the tooling to convert the tiles to mlt also becomes available.

That's great to know, I wasn't aware anybody even attempted to used it yet! I'm currently in the process of overhauling the Plugin system, it's been quite hard to test some enterprise closed-source integrations like Tableau and Snowflake to build out plugins.

SSO is sort kind of available, but undocumented, it currently only supports Okta but I'm working on fleshing out a lot of this in the next big release (along with MCP)

pratio · 3 months ago

We gave it a proper deployment and were blown away by the speed but in the end we need a lot of features. SSO/SAML is really important for not just access but also governance. We also miss the Snowflake and dbt plugin among others.

I saw the plugin system but having never written any production ready go code, it doesn't make sense to just use an LLM to generate code and pull requests which you then need to spend time reviewing.

Marmot is a wonderful project and I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

Hey there, Great to see Marmot here and I'm a huge fan of your project. Recently, we deployed a catalog but we went with open-metadata https://open-metadata.org/ another amazing project.

What we missed on marmot was existing integrations with Airflow and other plugins like Tableau, PowerBI etc as well as other features such as sso, mcp etc.

We're an enterprise and needed a more mature product. Fingers crossed marmot reaches there soon.

This looks beautiful but we're heavily invested in s3 so I'll wait for remote support
