Hi Stefan,
I maintain 2 documents that try to handle those questions:
- raster optimization: https://mapserver.org/optimization/raster.html
- vector optimization: https://mapserver.org/optimization/vector.html
Formats are still important. You'll notice that I had done a
performance comparison for the vector types, which I still find applicable.
Assuming that you mean the source format of your data (and not the
output format for the WMS service), for raster sources I still rely on
the speed of a properly indexed GeoTIFF. (yes the cool kids may use
other formats ha)
In terms of output formats, I recently had some back-and-forth with an
admin of an Esri WMS service, about their use of output formats in their
WMS service - it seems the format discussion is never-ending, and as
important today in year 2024 ha.
Hope your summer is going well,
-jeff

Hi,
considering performance, is there such a thing like a "best" source
format for WMS raster layers assuming a single source file for the whole
layer and some processing such as e.g. coloring or reprojecting?
E.g. is processing a GeoTIFF file faster or more efficient than a PNG
source?
