    I just used their pmtiles tool to grab a map of just the area around Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco.

    I grabbed the latest macOS Go binary from https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles/releases

    I found a rough bounding box using http://bboxfinder.com/#37.373977,-122.593346,37.570977,-122....

    Then I ran this:

    Yes, PMTiles is a tradeoff that isn't appropriate for transactional use cases. SQLite is pretty good for that already.

    There is a throughput limit on S3 files of approximately 5500 GETs/sec per key. Bare archives on S3 is an appropriate choice for small-scale, zero maintenance deployments. If your application demands any thing close to that level of throughput, you're probably either:

    * Serving individual tiles over the internet: you should use the CDN integration http://protomaps.com/docs/cdn ; most tile requests will be cached and only misses will interact with the S3 bottleneck.

    * Bulk accessing a spatial subset of tiles: You shouldn't be requesting HTTP GETs for single tiles, but instead entire subsets of tiles with a single Range request made possible by the internal Hilbert curve ordering. This is still WIP here: https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles/issues/31
