Description
## Motivation
There is no way to implement a spike map using MapBox GL JS or MapBox studio. This forces users to go to DataWrapper, which is a suboptimal alternative because of missing zoom capabilities and other features that MapBox provides.
## Design Alternatives
Circle map is the best possible alternative. It's suboptimal because we know that people have a harder time comparing the areas/diameters/radii of circles than the height of a spike.

Research direction
Start with the Observable spike-map mock-up linked in the issue and compare its design with the mapbox-gl-js architecture. The issue names no files or tests; done would mean implementing a spike map in Mapbox GL JS with the interaction and zoom capabilities described in the motivation.
