If you have ever seen a huge Mapbox map but don't know how it was made, this session will solve the mystery. You will learn how to upload big files to Mapbox, by optimizing the files, using geoJSONs and avoiding uploading files through Mapbox Studio.
We will be using the command line to convert geospatial files to geoJSON, dropping and changing all those little bits of data that make vectors heavier and heavier. We will use a couple of Mapbox own libraries (also in the command line) to add the final details and to upload the information to their servers.
After attending this session, participants will be able to understand how Mapbox works and how to upload bigger files to it. Previous experience with Mapbox is recommended. You should be comfortable using the command line. If you are bringing your own computer you will need to install WSL or similar with an Ubuntu distribution. You will need to set up a (free) Mapbox account before the session. (https://account.mapbox.com/auth/signup/)
