Logo

Terracotta is a pure Python tile server that runs as a WSGI app on a dedicated webserver or as a serverless app on AWS Lambda. It is built on a modern Python stack, powered by awesome open-source software such as Flask, Zappa, and Rasterio.

Why Terracotta?

The Terracotta workflow

1. Optimize raster files

$ terracotta optimize-rasters *.tif -o optimized/

Optimizing rasters: 100%|██████████████████████████| [05:16<00:00, file=S2A_20170831_...25XEL_B04.tif]

2. Create a database from file name pattern

$ terracotta ingest optimized/S2A_{date}_{}_{tile}_{band}.tif -o greenland.sqlite
Ingesting raster files: 100%|███████████████████████████████████████████| 6/6 [00:49<00:00,  8.54s/it]

3. Serve it up

$ terracotta serve -d greenland.sqlite
 * Serving Flask app "terracotta.server" (lazy loading)
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: Do not use the development server in a production environment.
   Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Debug mode: off
 * Running on http://localhost:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

4. Explore the running server

Manually

You can use any HTTP-capable client, such as curl.

$ curl localhost:5000/datasets?tile=25XEL
{"page":0,"limit":100,"datasets":[{"date":"20170831","tile":"25XEL","band":"B02"},{"date":"20170831","tile":"25XEL","band":"B03"},{"date":"20170831","tile":"25XEL","band":"B04"}]}

Modern browsers (e.g. Chrome or Firefox) will render the JSON as a tree.

Interactively

Terracotta also includes a web client. You can start the client (assuming the server is running at http://localhost:5000) using

$ terracotta connect localhost:5000
 * Serving Flask app "terracotta.client" (lazy loading)
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: Do not use the development server in a production environment.
   Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Debug mode: off
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5100/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

Then open the client page (http://127.0.0.1:5100/ in this case) in your browser.
