Comment on Vector Tiles are deployed on OpenStreetMap.orgparent

To answer the question: somebody needs to do the initial work and it's a further moving part that needs to be kept running (as the other responses point out such a distribution would likely use PMTiles as a container format). Given the current finances and staffing of the OSMF likely not top priority.

But they've done the work and are serving them now, just wondering why they don't just dump a copy on AWS. Thanks for answering!

Protomaps does this already. They do a planet build each day and offer a download for free:

This is excellent. Thank you.
