I would have loved to use PMTiles; they are a brilliant idea for serverless map hosting!
Unfortunately, cloud platforms can be prohibitively expensive for production usage of map tiles, as map tiles are only 405 bytes on average. This means 1 TB of traffic = 2.7 billion requests.
Unfortunately, on Cloudflare, the range requests in big files have terrible latency, and on AWS, the egress cost can be prohibitive.
##### How much would that cost?
Cloudflare => **\$977** for requests (you have to pay for requests even on public buckets; only traffic is free)
AWS S3 => **at least \$1717** in AWS fees (\$542 for Lambda + \$1085 for S3 requests + \$90 for egress costs)
Moreover, range requests on Cloudflare have terrible latency.
Of course, with normal usage, you might fall into AWS's free tier, but the internet is full of stories where someone received a surprise bill from AWS costing thousands of dollars. It's enough to have one bad crawling bot on the internet that gets stuck in a loop on your website - this can trigger thousands of dollars in AWS bills.
