Pretty cool. For those wondering the source of the data, it is likely ASDE-X/ASSC streaming in from the FAA's STDDS SWIM feed[0]. The terminal and ground data is especially cool and not as common as the usual flight tracking you see of en-route aircraft.
I'm using the STDDS feed to build a rough "go-around detector" in AWS for approaching aircraft by monitoring each approaching aircraft glide slope and dispatching a SNS notification "if currAlt > prevAlt".
If anyone has any questions about this stuff feel free to reach out, my email is in my profile. The easy part (IMHO) is slurping in the data which only requires a couple small EC2's and RDS, ~$125/mo. The hard part is often the presentation and making demos like these fun and shareable.
