pmtiles are only the counterpart to the "overviews" part of COG. pmtiles doesn't give you analysis-ready data. For that, look to FlatGeobuf or GeoParquet (once it gets a spatial index in v1.1 of the spec)

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I love what you're going with geoparquet, it's certainly quite nice for analysis and some viewing. But there are still going to be a lot of datasets and clients that aren't going to be able to handle that where the tiled approach will work.

I'm looking at this currently for a couple of clients, and I think that for what we're doing -- we're going to wind up serving both a view and analysis version separately.
