Which tech stack are they planning to use? It seems like Planetiler and tilemaker are popular options but do they scale for OSM's needs? Protomaps PMtiles are also very interesting

Post author here! We’re going to reuse a lot of existing bricks like osm2pgsql, postgis’s ST_AsMVT, and the shortbread schema to start with. Tilekiln, the project Paul is working on, is python to orchestrate it all, and regenerate tiles on database updates.
Probably something else that is straightforward to incrementally update (applies to all 3 cases from your comment).

Thanks. I found this article on Paul's blog which answers my question: https://www.paulnorman.ca/blog/2024/01/minutely-updated-tile...
