[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql] osm2pgsql to pmtiles / Looking for a simple way to generate community map and data projects (Discussion #2463)

[Paul Norman]

The goal of osm2pgsql is to import OSM data into a postgis database and keep it updated. If your ideal setup doesn't have a database and you're only after daily updates, why are you starting with osm2pgsql?

You certainly can create an osm2pgsql database and export a planet's worth of vector tiles, but why? It's going to take much longer than a setup optimized for generating the planet like tilemaker or planetiler.

I happen to believe the flex API is more powerful than the configuration options other software has, and the combination of the power of the flex API and PostGIS gives an osm2pgsql-based toolchain far more power. This does not matter for someone looking for a simple way to generate tiles.
