1Send the order#

Shell

curl -X POST localhost:8080/orders \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"id": 4711, "items": [{"sku": "LAMP-02", "qty": 1}], "promise": "thursday"}'

The checkout answers with the order and its first status:

text

{"id": 4711, "status": "placed", "promise": "Thursday"}

2Open the tracking page#

Open localhost:8085/orders/4711. The customer sees one green tile, Placed, and four grey ones. The promise under them reads Delivered by Thursday.

Note

The tracking page reads the same events the stations write. It never asks a station directly, so a slow station never makes the page slow.
