I have managed to :
1) Create layers
2) Applied SLD Styles
3) Group the layers together and able to preview
What I have is this(layer preview):
I would now want to serve this layer via tiles. Something like what open street map does, an example would be, https://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/14/12917/8131.png as my mobile application will be getting the map tiles from this server itself.
How do I go about doing this? Leaflet?
Based on BradHards's Suggestion, I have installed geowebcache and am trying to serve tms /wtms with some problems.
This is my WMTS get capabilties file Link here, and TMS is here
<TileMap title="OSM layerGroup" srs="EPSG:900913" profile="global-mercator" href="http://10.18.144.176:8181/geowebcache/service/tms/1.0.0/OSM+layerGroup@EPSG%3A900913@png"/>
<TileMap title="OSM layerGroup" srs="EPSG:4326" profile="global-geodetic" href="http://10.18.144.176:8181/geowebcache/service/tms/1.0.0/OSM+layerGroup@EPSG%3A4326@png"/>
I have tried using TMS, for example a working link in my local client produces something like this: http://localhost:8181/geowebcache/service/tms/1.0.0/osm_sgmy@EPSG%3A900913@png%22/1/1/1.png
using another test link would result in this: http://localhost:8181/geowebcache/service/tms/1.0.0/osm_sgmy@EPSG%3A900913@png%22/1/2/2.png
Coverage [minx,miny,maxx,maxy] is [-1, 0, 2, 1, 1], index [x,y,z] is [2, 2, 1]
This is my geowebcache-core-context.xml file config snippet:
<bean id="gwcWMSConfig" class="org.geowebcache.config.GetCapabilitiesConfiguration">
<constructor-arg ref="gwcGridSetBroker">
</constructor-arg>
<!-- <constructor-arg value="http://10.18.144.176:8080/geoserver/osm/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetCapabilities"> -->

Vendor parameters, these are appended to every request sent to the backend.
If you use MapServer you probably want to set this to "map=name". Leave the value attribute empty if you don't need
to add any vendor specific parameter.

<constructor-arg value="false">

</constructor-arg>
<property name="primaryConfig" ref="gwcXmlConfig">

In summary, I want to make my geoserver/geowebcache able to serve tiles in a X/Y/Z format like:
