Geshem 🌧️

An interactive rain radar clone running on Mapbox GL, see it live at: https://geshem.space

• A static main index page, React-based JS bundle and other static assets that are uploaded upon deploy
• Radar images that are collected and indexed every minute by a Python recurring task running on AWS Lambda
