tippecanoe | Build vector tilesets from large collections | Android library

We're using ogr2ogr and tippecanoe to generate MBTILES files and then uploading them to Mapbox. This incurs Mapbox's recent-ish tile processing and hosting costs.

We've been hit by a couple of surprise bills. We can work around this by following the advice on https://docs.mapbox.com/help/troubleshooting/manage-tileset-costs/#how-do-i-lower-my-tileset-processing-costs.

But there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to estimate tile processing costs before the upload occurs. I'd like to display the tileset's kilometers squared figure, resolution, and calculate a cost to show to our team before the upload occurs.

Does anyone know how this could be achieved?

I am using Azure Maps, and want to display vector tiles that I have generated with tippecanoe.

I was initially getting an error in Azure Maps in the frontend javascript, which was basically complaining the generated pbf were not acceptable, because it was compressed. I fixed that.

Now, the frontend javascript does not throw any error, except when it cannot find a z/x/y pbf file.

When it does not throw any errors in the javascript console.log, it does not display any vector from the vector tile pbf.

What I think I am not getting right is the sourceLayer that goes into the javascript.

I am working on this project where I want to add relatively dynamic data (updating every 15minutes) to a mapbox-gl via a serverless solution. I followed this excellent guide on creating serverless vector tiles and have the base tiles working.

My question is now how would you achieve adding a geojson point layer to the map (hosted on a simple HTML page), using something like:
