I'm surprised I don't see more implementations caching and serving vector tiles. I know some (most?) large mapping companies do this.
I maintain a heavily used map of the US, and I found that storing data/serving in vector format seems to be the most efficient (on AWS s3 / DO spaces), and converting to raster in the browser or with a service call / lambda really opens the doors to a lot more use cases. I suspect parent can talk more about this than I can.
