FulcrumTile server

Tiles for every layer.
Servers for none.

Fulcrum turns your vector and raster data into fast, filterable map tiles on demand. It scales from one analyst to a whole department and back to zero, with no server to size, patch or babysit.

Why Fulcrum

Publishing data should be the easy part

Fulcrum is the engine behind every Strabo map. It's built for the datasets that make other tile servers sweat, and for teams who don't want to run one.

Publish by uploading

Upload a file and it is a layer. There is no separate publishing step, cache to build or service to restart.

Filter on the fly

Change a filter and the tiles follow, straight away. No republishing, no stale caches.

Many layers, one request

Combine several layers into a single tile so busy maps load in one round trip.

Dense data, light tiles

Big layers are simplified for each zoom ahead of time, so regional views stay quick without losing their shape.

Vector and raster

Serve features and imagery from the same engine, with the same security and the same speed.

Serverless by design

Scales up for a busy morning and down to nothing overnight. You pay for map views, not idle machines.

Secure by default

Every dataset is protected with signed, per-dataset access, so a link to one layer never opens another.

Bring your database

Point Fulcrum at an existing PostGIS database and serve tiles straight from it.

Standards-based

Standard vector tiles and metadata that work in Strabo and in other web and desktop map clients.

How it fits

From file to map in three steps

1
Upload or connect

Drop files onto Strabo, publish from ArcGIS® Pro with Janus, or point Fulcrum at your PostGIS database.

2
Fulcrum serves it

Your layer is tiled on demand at every zoom, with your filters applied as you change them.

3
Use it anywhere

Strabo, your own web apps and desktop GIS all read the same tiles.
