I'm a mapping noob, but I've got a half-planned project which will need web based maps, and tilemaker looks great.
The GitHub readme lists "You want the entire planet" as a reason not to use tilemaker. Why is that? Presumably it's excessive RAM/CPU usage during pbf conversion, or when serving tiles from the mbtiles sqlite file.
But how excessive are we talking? How big a machine would be needed to process a planet file? What tools work better with huge input files?
