Traditional web mapping libraries crash or freeze when attempting to display more than 50,000 coordinates simultaneously.
Deck.gl & GPU-Accelerated Web GIS Visualization
Deck.gl, Kepler.gl & GPU-Accelerated Big Geospatial Data Visualization
Ultra-high-performance browser visualization for millions of spatial points, trajectories, 3D building meshes, and H3 hexagonal grids using WebGL/WebGPU and Deck.gl.
// The buying trigger
You probably need this when…
Fleet operations and smart city command centers cannot visualize real-time moving asset trajectories without noticeable frame drops.
Visualizing multi-resolution spatial indexes (Uber H3, S2 geometry) and 3D volumetric layers lacks fluid interactive filtering.
Off-the-shelf business intelligence tools fail to deliver custom shaders, trip animations, and high-density heatmaps.
// Concrete scope
What the engagement delivers
Every item is tied to an acceptance owner and evidence. Final scope is confirmed after data, security, and integration review.

// Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
How does Deck.gl achieve 60 FPS rendering with millions of points?+
Deck.gl offloads spatial computations and rendering directly to the user's GPU using WebGL2/WebGPU. By passing binary data buffers directly into GPU vertex shaders, it avoids JavaScript and CPU bottlenecks that cripple traditional DOM-based mapping libraries.
Can Deck.gl be integrated with base map libraries like MapLibre GL?+
Yes. Deck.gl seamlessly overlays and synchronizes its camera, pitch, and zoom with MapLibre GL and Mapbox GL JS, giving you beautiful vector basemaps with heavy GPU-accelerated data visualization on top.
How do you stream live vehicle telemetry into Deck.gl?+
We stream real-time updates via WebSockets or Server-Sent Events (SSE) directly into Deck.gl's TripsLayer and ScenegraphLayer, utilizing binary ArrayBuffers to bypass JSON parsing overhead and maintain smooth animated vehicle movements.
