We are running performance tests for vector tiles serving and rasterization. In these tests, tiles are served without any caching to obtain the raw server performance. Every VM runs a single MapTiler Server instance with default rasterization configuration. The load was generated from 50 virtual users.

Performance tips
-
configure caching in production is basically a must-have, see how to configure it in Nginx
-
more CPUs and RAM will be used mainly during map rasterization, if you serve vector/raster tiles, multiple CPUs will not help you much
-
rather invest into fast SSD drives
-
rasterization use internal caching massively, if you use it for the whole planet (lots of fonts etc) 16 RAM is minimum
-
rasterization performance can be tuned in server settings/rasterization. Setting renderer pool size higher than CPU count can slightly increase throughput but beware that every renderer allocates its own memory space.
