Glad to see another deck.gl user!

deck.gl focuses on vector data, whereas WeatherLayers GL adds raster capabilities. Actually, WeatherLayers GL is mostly custom WebGL shaders that could be implemented outside of deck.gl as well. The major reason why deck.gl is used is that it serves as an integration layer for popular map libraries. I've written deck.gl-leaflet [1] plugin myself.
