  • tilelive

    fast interface to tiles with pluggable backends - NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED

  • This is definitely possible. A very common use case is publishing custom vector tiles to Mapbox, but since you want to host the tileset itself on your own server, you can use something like tilelive to do so. It's easy to create your own custom .mbtiles with Mapbox Studio, but it's an open specification, so feel free to create your own from arbitrary geographic data.

  • mbtiles-spec

    specification documents for the MBTiles tileset format

  • maplibre-gl-js

    MapLibre GL JS - Interactive vector tile maps in WebGL2

  • If you haven't seen it already, you may want to take a look at Map Libre (https://maplibre.org) - it's a fork of Mapbox GL JS, just before they changed the licensing (you now pay per map-load for Mapbox GL JS, even if you're not using their map data).

  • lambda-tiler

    Discontinued AWS Lambda + rio-tiler to serve tiles from any web hosted files
