It looks like the visualization was made with d3.js, can anyone explain how one may recreate something similar, or is it hand-rolled?

Yeah, it does look like d3 animation, don't think it will be hand-rolled.

Better approach will be combine d3 with reactive js like React/Vuejs for dynamic data

This is a globe https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/ba63c55dd2dbc3ab0127

then just provide/change the data

Looks like it's made using BlueShift. There's a link in the lower righthand corner of the graphic. https://blueshift.io

Both the BlueShift examples and the graphic on this page are loading d3 as well, so it's likely BlueShift is building on d3 in some way.
