This is the CartoDB map tiler. It extends Windshaft with some extra functionality and custom filters for authentication

Look at lib/cartodb/server_options for more on config

  • reads dbname from subdomain and cartodb redis for pretty tile urls
  • configures windshaft to publish cartodb_id as the interactivity layer
  • gets the default geometry type from the cartodb redis store
  • allows tiles to be styled individually
  • provides a link to varnish high speed cache
  • provides a infowindow endpoint for windshaft
  • provides a map_metadata endpoint for windshaft
