One such service would be MapBox [1] itself. And in my opinion
mapbox-gl-js would be a natural choice for the client part. MapBox is
doing a really good job, and this is getting really solid.

I wrote a tiny script to create a mapbox-gl-js package for own deployment
[2]. It doesn't do much useful at the moment, other than doing a basic
host config of the build and generating and packaging some of the required
assets. No custom style integration, and no font generation (I wanted to
add this to the script, so they'd be generated from freetype fonts [3]
using fontnik [4]).
