When choosing a backend solution for managing your data, there are a few considerations to keep in mind: ease of updating the data, scalability of managing and serving the data, and security and privacy of the data. 

This extension on the Sheet Mapper solution is appropriate for an organization looking to balance ease of use with potentially very high usage, such as maps to coordinates marches and mobilization. Sheet Mapper Advanced: Caching leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS) to cache and serve sheet data.

This approach can also be used with more advanced functionality, including data joins to other tilesets, routing between locations, and more.
