A single live map that fuses open-source intelligence across air, sea, land, and space. Every layer is driven by public real-time feeds, proxied and cached at the edge, and rendered as a continuously updating situational picture in the browser — no login, no installs.
OSINTMesh is built for open-source intelligence and situational awareness. It aggregates freely available real-time feeds — community ADS-B, AIS, GTFS-RT, government hazard APIs, and orbital element sets — behind a unified edge layer, then presents them on one interactive Leaflet map with per-layer toggles, filtering, detail panels, and track playback.
The complete set of toggleable tracking layers available in the map's Layer Control, grouped by domain.
Every layer is powered by a public or community feed. OSINTMesh proxies each one through its own edge route to normalize formats, add CORS, and cache responses — it never stores or resells the underlying data.

The browser renders the map and polls domain-specific hooks. Each hook calls an edge API route which fetches the upstream feed, caches it, and returns normalized JSON/GeoJSON with CORS. Warm worker instances keep hot data (like the AIS WebSocket) alive between requests.
