aws-SkyRoute

3D globe visualization of global traffic flowing to AWS regions. Shows real-time user connections with latency-colored arcs, CloudFront edge node panels, P95/P99 metrics, error rate alerts, and sparkline trends. Use when building a global traffic monitoring dashboard, visualizing CDN/user distribution, or creating a "war room" real-time traffic display for web applications served via CloudFront/ALB.

SkyRoute — 3D Global Traffic Monitor

A self-contained HTML/WebGL dashboard that renders a 3D globe showing real-time traffic connections from users worldwide to your AWS backend region.

Features

• 3D Globe with country polygons (no external textures — pure geometry)
• Animated arcs from user locations to target region, color-coded by latency (green < 100ms, yellow < 300ms, red > 300ms)
• CloudFront edge panel showing top PoPs by request volume
• Metrics panel: active connections, RPS, P95/P99 latency, error rate
• Alert mode: header flashes red when error rate spikes, with alert badge
• Sparkline trends for latency/RPS history
• Country name mapping (CC → Chinese name)

Files

• assets/globe.html — Complete standalone dashboard (Three.js + custom shaders via CDN)

Usage

Static demo

Open assets/globe.html directly in a browser. It includes a mock data generator that simulates global traffic.

With real data

To connect real data, modify the generateConnections() function in the HTML to fetch from your data source. Expected data format per connection:

{
  "lat": 51.5,
  "lng": -0.12,
  "latency": 85,
  "country": "GB",
  "requests": 1200
}

Data sources (integration ideas)

1. ALB access logs → parse source IPs → GeoIP lookup → aggregate by region
2. CloudFront real-time logs → Kinesis → Lambda → WebSocket push
3. Custom metrics API → poll every 5s from your monitoring backend

GeoIP Setup

For production use, obtain MaxMind GeoLite2-City database:

1. Register at https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup
2. Download GeoLite2-City.mmdb
3. Use with a backend service to resolve IP → lat/lng

Customization

Config	Location	Description
Target region	TARGET_REGION const	AWS region coordinates (default: us-west-2)
Color thresholds	getArcColor()	Latency → color mapping
Alert threshold	ERROR_THRESHOLD	Error rate % to trigger alert mode
Panel layout	CSS .panel classes	Reposition info panels
Country names	CC_NAMES object	ISO code → display name mapping

Deployment

Serve as a static file behind any web server or embed in an internal dashboard (Grafana iframe, TV display, etc.). No backend required for the visualization itself — all rendering is client-side WebGL.
