Load testing on PMTiles

Hi, thanks for the awesome project!

I’m trying to use pmtiles as basemap in my map project, and I would like to do some load testing on it. Normally I use siege for this kind of testing and I’ll feed URLs with randomised zoom level and x, y values.

I wonder if I could do something similar for pmtiles? If so, how would the URL look like in this case?

FYI, I’m using MaplibreGL and I inserted PMTiles in my code like this:

"tiles": ["pmtiles://sample.pmtiles/{z}/{x}/{y}"]

So I’m not sure what would be a URL in this case.

Thank you.

I have a little tile testing utility for siege at https://github.com/bdon/TileSiege , but it won’t work this way with PMTiles; you would need to modify the Range: headers of the requests, and those request headers need to be based on the directory.

So you’ll need a more advanced load testing library more likely, and it would simplify your tests to do random ~100KB requests instead of needing to base them off a directory.

I’m not aware of any, maybe try something like JMeter for video. In any case, this is beyond the scope of PMTiles 😃
