Sponsor-supported SaaS
Offering a hosted SaaS is crucial for web apps that don’t need the flexibility of controlling the data on their own storage. The Protomaps API now accepts payments via GitHub Sponsors. This centers the open source code over the inherently proprietary API: at any point, you are free to exit the API and run Protomaps yourself, and your monetary contribution continues to sustain the project.
Now if I only I can figure out how to get this via the government procurement process 
I’ve been looking for an excuse to use this but we’re not really doing basemaps at work. At least not yet 
Have any of you used this this for production? Or a hobby project?
The current barrier of pmtiles is that QGIS doesn’t have yet an export to pmtiles. Currently you still need to export it to mbtiles then use the protomaps mbtiles -> pmtiles utility. The good thing about pmtiles though is that you can host it using a blob or object store without running a separate service like mbtiles.
Yeah. And with something like R2, it should be really cheap
