About
Felt is a browser-based GIS platform for teams that publish, edit, and share maps without running desktop software. Users connect live sources such as PostGIS, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks or upload files directly, then style, filter, and analyze the data with spatial SQL and raster tools while collaborating in real time. Maps render with MapLibre and large uploads are tiled with the company's Tippecanoe fork, with a JavaScript SDK, REST API, webhooks, and MCP server for developers plus an official Python client. Plans are per-seat and freemium, with self-hosted deployment offered on Enterprise.
