I'm the author of a few of the tools mentioned in this post! A convenient new development is instead of using tippecanoe -> go-pmtiles to create PMTiles archives, you can now output .pmtiles directly: tippecanoe -o bks2.pmtiles mainroad.geojson ... This is available in Tippecanoe (https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe) v2.17 and later. Thanks to Felt (https://felt.com https://felt.com) for supporting this open source work.

This is great! I’ve used tippecanoe for a number of years but always hosted the tiles in the file system on a CDN. Fortunately I only needed to cover the area of a single city, but that was still 500,000 individual files! pmtiles should work nicely. I’m hoping MapLibre GL Native adds support for them sometime soon.
