Serve them from local storage to a viewer application.

Ah, is there another vector format for tiles other than SVG? Or are you saying that I should just generate a bunch of compressed rasters?
- bransonf 7y agoAh, I haven’t really got into that territory with mapnik. But to the second point, yes you should just generate a bunch of Raster tiles. And before doing this, ask yourself if you really need to. If this isn’t a huge project, Mapbox is an easy packed solution. Otherwise, there are dozens of really good tile providers already.
