Tiling functionality

[henriktorget]

Dynamic vector tiles are suitable for large datasets but PostGIS is not scalable.
The postGIS extension to postgresql adds the ability to return geospatial data as tiles to be rendered in a map client with the ST_asMVT() function.

pg_tileserv or martin are servers that can - on top of postGIS - expose these functions as a tile urls:
https://tileserver.com/x/y/z.pbf?a_parameter=to_the_postgis_function

If surrealdb could do the same as the ST_asMVT() function in the postGIS extension, you could have martin(written in rust) expose these tiles in a similar manner, but scalable.
