Hey, want to say I'm super excited by protomaps. I'm struggling a bit to convert existing OSM pbf files into the pmtiles format. Specifically, I'm trying to convert this guy https://daylightmap.org/

Do you have any tips for doing so without renting memory in the cloud?

The daylight PBFs are difficult to combine without a lot of RAM, there's no way around it right now. Either do that or hold out for potential newer releases of the data delivered as Parquet files.
