# LynxKite 2024

This is an experimental rewrite of [LynxKite](https://github.com/lynxkite/lynxkite).
It is not compatible with the original LynxKite. The primary goals of this rewrite are:
- Target GPU clusters instead of Hadoop clusters.
  We use Python instead of Scala, RAPIDS instead of Apache Spark.
- More extensible backend. Make it easy to add new LynxKite boxes.
  Make it easy to use our frontend for other purposes, configuring and executing other pipelines.

Current status: **PROTOTYPE**

## Installation

To run the backend:

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn server.main:app --reload
```

To run the frontend:

```bash
cd web
npm i
npm run dev
```
