Show HN: OpenFreeMap – Open-Source Map Hosting
Look into Planetiler [1] (which OP uses for tile generation). It supports downloading regions that are listed on Geofabrik [2] and converting them to mbtiles or pmtiles. If you need to extract an even smaller area from that result, GDAL has support for mbtiles so you could use gdalwarp [3] to extract a new mbtiles file out of it using bounds.
Another option is to use the extract functionality in pmtiles [4] to extract your area of interest from their daily builds. You can then statically host that file and use that in your client with one of their client libraries.

Protomaps – A free and open source map of the world
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:

How The Post is replacing Mapbox with open source solutions
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
