Hello @bachstatter, I just read your aticles and saw your slides, it's very useful, thanks.

I'm building an app that gets mapbox mvt tiles from their api, style them with mapnik in my server and serve them to my client as png. I'm going to provide multiple style options and I realized it's going to get very expensive.
I came across your article and it's very clear how you setup your server to serve the mvt tiles, but it doesn't mention how you do the rendering on the client side. I would gain a lot by styling it in the client as I would not need to request tiles from the server everytime the user wants to see it styled differently.

Another requirement I have is the ability to render a static map from anywhere at any resolution as I'll need it for printing, but since we're talking about vector tiles I don't believe that'd be an issue (I already have this set up using mapnik in the server, but if we cannot use mapnik stylesheet I'd probably need to setup it differently so the styles from the client and the print match)
