• Site to display thematic maps?

  I have also used carto.com and ArcGIS Online to create interactive maps but most of my projects include static maps and I can not necessarily remake those on these sites as there are more complicated/don't need to be interactive. Source: over 2 years ago

• Tips and guides for setting up a cloud-based GIS database with a web map component for someone with very limited IT background

  I think CARTO would be perfect for this. It's basically just PostGIS in the cloud with a great interface. Source: over 2 years ago

• GIS Developer career path

  If you want to get into web GeoDjango is a popular option for the backend, but you could also learn to roll your own with flask/FastAPI. You also have some choice of JavaScript libraries for the frontend, [Leaflet]() and [OpenLayers]() are likely the most popular frameworks, but there are others (personally I'd recommend OpenLayers as it's the only one backed by OSGeo as far as I know).

• Self Hosting a Google Maps Alternative with OpenStreetMap

  Thank you! It's on my todo-list to set up such a server and your work will really help with it. Here is another excellent write-up from Stefan Erhardt who is the founder of OpenTopoMap [0][1] which gives step-by-step instructions [2] on how to set up a tile server with custom tile rendering, also based on OSM's data. Also worth mentioning is GeoServer [3] [0] https://opentopomap.org/ [1]... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Making a web based map working with millions of records

  ArcGIS Online could be the right move as long as you set up the service correctly. You could also load the shapefile into a database like PostgreSQL and connect to the database via an API like Geoserver FastVector, or pg_tileserv. This would cause a lot more time, cost, and knowledge on your end though to host a database and api vs loading the data into the ESRI ecosystem. Source: over 1 year ago

• Which tile server should I use? Terracotta or Geoserver or is there a better one?

  I am currently working on setting up a web app using leaflet that can display .tif images along with some polygons and add some filters in the web app to better interact with the data. In the process of implementing this, I came to know that I need to use a tile server because I have large amounts of data and the tile server can help to serve the tiles on the web app. Based on my research, I guess these two are...
