Serving a custom vector web map using PMTiles and maplibre-gl
— [Protomaps](https://protomaps.com/) is "an open source map of the world, deployable as a single static file on cloud storage". It involves some _very_ clever technology, rooted in the [PMTiles](https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles) file format which lets you create a single static file containing vector tile data which is designed to be hosted on static hosting but can then serve vector tiles to clients using HTTP range requests.
