Also worth checking out https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler , which maybe a bit less mature, but is much faster than Tilemaker.

I spent a while optimizing sqlite inserts for planetiler, this is what I came up with: https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler/blob/db0ab02263baaa... It batches inserts into bulk statements and is able to do writes in the 500k+ per second…

Ah, that makes sense. I'd take a look at https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler -- I bet that fits the bill for what you need if you have the servers but need the data. :)

I built planetiler ( https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler ) for this purpose. The output up to z14 is ~80gb and depending on how big of a machine you have it takes from 30 minutes up to a few hours - no DB required, just java or…
