  • planetiler

    Flexible tool to build planet-scale vector tilesets from OpenStreetMap data fast

  • There are tools like https://tilemaker.org/ and https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler which can take the .pbf file and turn it directly into an mbtiles file which is compatible with MapBox and MapLibre client javascript libraries. These tools require lots of RAM to do the conversion (128GB is a good starting point if you want to render the whole world) but once the mbtiles file exists it can be served using a $5 DigitalOcean droplet, or an AWS Lambda.
