csWeb-sim layers to slippy maps

[erikvullings]

In order for others to use our map layers, offer them through csWeb-tile as slippy maps (layer/z/x/y.png).This means that we need to convert a feature style to a Carto css style.

Especially, we need to look for how to perform clustering of items. It may well be that this isn't supported directly in Carto, but there are some examples that achieve the same result by creating additional layers at lower zoom levels. E.g.

• https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/advanced-map-design/
• http://docs.cartodb.com/cartodb-platform/cartocss/properties-for-torque/#cartocss---torque-maps
• http://bl.ocks.org/andrewxhill/8675947

Alternatively, we could use heatmaps at lower zoom levels to cluster the data.

Also have a look at landspeed. It uses mapnik to create a simple wms server. https://www.npmjs.com/package/landspeed
