Take a look at Tippecanoe, which is under active development again[0]. The original developer, Erica Fischer (who is wonderful to work with), has a fork[1] where new work is happening.
(Co-founder of Felt here) Thanks for the kind words! We are lucky to have Erica on our team. If you ever want to talk maps, my email is can@felt dot com!
