This is interesting. We recently deployed a solution that uses pmtiles and it's great.

https://docs.protomaps.com/pmtiles/

afaik, pmtiles uses mvt, let's hope the tooling to convert the tiles to mlt also becomes available.

PMTiles is actually pretty agnostic to what kind of tiles it contains! There is already a PMTiles PR that updates the byte that specifies the type of tile to include MLT.

Neat, as someone integrating PMTiles right now, thank you!

[pratio]

Oh wow, thank you, looking forward to this

PMtiles is often used with MVT tiles, but it can encapsulate a variety of tile types: the current spec [1] has defined tile types for MVT, PNG, JPEG, WebP and AVIF (plus "Unknown/Other").

Absolutely, we have MVT tiles at the moment, I'm hoping to test MLT soon

I'm building PMTiles through Tilemaker, PMTiles is incredible, but sadly it will take a lot of work to produce MLT though Tilemaker :/

Oh pmtiles is such a simple and innovative solution!

[pratio]

Yes, Absolutely in love with it. Loading tiles with range requests made our application so much faster.

It is. I’ve found it so useful I created an Elixir library to act as a cache in front on a pmtiles file. https://hex.pm/packages/ex_pmtiles
