4 months ago It sounds like you're interested in changing how the basemap in Kepler is implemented. Kepler has a component injection feature in the framework which allows you to redefine how components are implemented. It also has an extensible redux store that allows you to set custom state, such as different map styles.
Example to inject custom map styles https://github.com/keplergl/kepler.gl/blob/master/examples/custom-map-style/src/store.ts
MapContainerFactory https://github.com/keplergl/kepler.gl/blob/master/src/components/src/map-container.tsx
Check out the custom factories in this example and implement CustomMapContainer by starting with a copy of the one implemented in Kepler.

I'm currently developing an advanced visualization app which uses MapLibre as base. I'm using my self hosted layers and some advanced user interactions built by me.
Kepler has a powerful editor and advanced visualizations (arc maps). It would be great to add kepler layers to an existing Mapbox/Maplibre instance.
DeckGL currently offers a way to achieve that, but Kepler does not actually export visualizations to DeckGL JSON format.
