For at least a decade now, I’ve told journalists building interactive maps two things:You should create maps with a style that fits the story you’re telling and matches your newsroom’s broader design sensibilities. You should use a hosted service to do this. Hosting a full map stack yourself is more cost and trouble than it’s worth. These two ideas have some tension between them. You should own your map design but not the infrastructure that supports it.
