I ask because I've been looking to self host some sort of map tile server and they seem to have database in the hundreds of GB.
Also it’s not one giant tile DB - there are 3 datasets:
- map tiles (PMTiles) - routing tiles (Valhalla tiles) - geocoder index (SQLite)
For small countries like Austria/Slovakia, each is typically hundreds of MB.
Maptiler has a bunch of datasets, anywhere from 385MB to 527GB but the OSM dataset is only 70GB. (MBTiles format)
