Most part of the work is around a dashboard where clients are able to track, monitor and control their fleet. The product poses unique challenges in creation of components that can handle high data flow and interactivity. The team often rewrites libraries or creates one from scratch as we find most libraries are written with a feature-first mentality and often loose focus on performance. We are working on a React Redux stack on a good sized codebase (~250k LOC) creating highly scalable, reusable components.
