PetaBencana.id: Software as Infrastructure
summary
PetaBencana.id (CogniCity OSS) is an open‑source, modular disaster mapping platform that ingests Twitter, Telegram and API feeds, stores reports in a short‑lived database and serves a lightweight web map used operationally by BPBD DKI Jakarta. PetaJakarta.org handled 4 million map loads in <24 hours during recent floods, scaled from coverage of ~28M to ~56M people, uses AWS auto‑scaling, marks reports as verified when agencies confirm them, and exposes data via an open API and GitHub for reuse. Reports expire after two hours to keep the feed current.
