Building a High-Performance Map with Go: A Vector Tile Implementation

While building a website that maps live urban activity, the author sought a more efficient way to render the map, opting for vector tiles to optimize loading speed. The article details the process of generating Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT) from GeoJSON data, covering coordinate transformations, tile identification, geometry construction, and property addition. Implemented in Go, the resulting MVT tiles significantly reduced page size and improved map rendering speed and overall performance.
