At Alliander, as a grid operator, we manage large amounts of geographical asset information. Our
electricity, gas, and telecom assets together comprise over 600 types of objects, each consisting
of millions of individual objects. So yeah, that’s a lot of data! For the past few years, we've
been offering this data as Esri Vector Tile sets, but this closed-source technology hasn't been
flexible enough for what we need. Open Source, for example, could let us generate deltas in the future.
To deliver this data efficiently to our organization, this year we developed cloud-hosted Mapbox vector
tiles with queryable attribute information. In this presentation, we'd like to share both the successes
and challenges we've encountered during this development.
