This was possibly made in After Effects. There are several ways to achieve this.

1. You could make a canvas that is much larger than your comp size, [parent](https://www.surfacedstudio.com/tutorials/after-effects/adobe-effects-basics-tutorial-parenting/) everything together and drag it all around
2. You could make a large canvas, place objects around it, then [add a camera](https://www.schoolofmotion.com/blog/cameras-after-effects), and pan/track the camera around to move to the objects outside the original screen limits.
3. You could manually keyframe individual objects without parenting to move the objects around.

From the look of the animation, I'd guess the foreground objects are parented, but the background grid is keyframed manually.
