  • 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
  • provides a infowindow endpoint for windshaft
  • provides a map_metadata endpoint for windshaft
