The Reefer App was developed to test the KAR runtime against the needs of an enterprise-like application. Modeled after the IBM Garage: Reefer Container Shipment reference implementation, this version was largely rewritten to fully take advantage of KAR. However, in a typical enterprise scenario, much of the original application components and code would have been preserved. We plan to demonstrate the use of KAR for modernizing existing applications in a separate example.
Notes:
- A goal of the rewrite was to compare the code and configuration complexity of a KAR actor based implementation with a more traditional design.
- Rather than implement expected customer usage scenarios, the reefer GUI is designed primarily to demonstrate performance and scale.
- The business logic for anomaly processing is new, but it is designed to reuse anomaly detection logic from the Garage implementation.
