mapnik - Serving tiled maps with many different styles -


i'm looking framework/library/solution serve mapnik generated maps multiple (up several thousands) of different styles (and potentially different backing stores). similar they're doing on @ cloudmade or mapbox wysiwyg styling of maps. components i've evaluated far (tilecache, tilestache, renderd, tirex, tilecloud among others) have many delicate features, most, if not all, designed serve statically configured set of maps (the amount set @ compile time in renderd) , none of them have hooks/api's etc. dynamically add or remove maps while running. solutions based on mod_tile suffer fact 1 need fiddle apache configuration add new map.

any clever solution out there problem? need roll own stack this? mapbox , cloudmade seem open source lot of work they're doing, aspect may little bit close core business.

we have similar needs, , far taken solution of scripting configuration of renderd, , process restart, using fabric scripts. works ok. though we're looking @ among renderd , tilestache going serve best. renderd has hardcoded limit of 10 maps, we've changed , recompiled, wonder if there's reason that. limitation renderd not server utfgrid, , i've been looking adding it, it's been slow going. tilestache can serve utfgrid, thinking switching, @ least grids, , adding configuration steps our fabric scripts.
