PMTiles is an archive format that stores an entire set of map tiles in a single file. Because clients read only the tiles they need with HTTP Range requests, you can serve maps without a tile server just by putting the file on object storage such as S3 or on static hosting. It was created by the Protomaps project, can hold both vector tiles and raster tiles, and is often used with converted OpenStreetMap data.
