By utilizing modern development practices and technologies, the platform is designed to be easily maintainable, extendable, and deployable.

Key Features

• Product Management: Efficiently manage products with features like adding, updating, listing, and categorizing products.
• Order Management: Handle the complete order lifecycle, including order creation, tracking, and status updates.
• Payment Integration: Integrate with popular payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal to process payments securely.
• User Management: Manage user profiles, authentication, and authorization using industry-standard practices.
• Scalability: Designed to scale horizontally using Kubernetes and Docker.
• High Availability: Ensures minimal downtime with continuous delivery and deployment practices.
• Secure and Performant: Incorporates best practices for security, performance, and testing.

Technologies Used

This project leverages a variety of modern technologies and tools to achieve its goals:

• Node.js: The core runtime environment for building the microservices.
• TypeScript: A statically typed superset of JavaScript that enhances code quality and maintainability.
• NestJS: A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications.
• PostgreSQL: A powerful, open-source relational database system for managing structured data.
• MongoDB: A NoSQL database for handling unstructured or semi-structured data.

• GraphQL: A query language for your API, providing a flexible and efficient way to interact with the backend services.
• Apollo Server: A GraphQL server implementation to handle GraphQL queries, mutations, and subscriptions.
• Redis: An in-memory data structure store, used for caching and real-time data processing.
• STAN: A streaming data platform to manage event-driven communication between services.
• gRPC: A high-performance RPC framework for microservices communication.
• Kubernetes: An open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
• Docker: A platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in containers.
• Azure DevOps: A cloud-based service for managing the entire application lifecycle, including CI/CD pipelines.
• Jest: A delightful JavaScript testing framework with a focus on simplicity.
• ESLint: A tool for identifying and fixing problems in your JavaScript and TypeScript code.
• GraphQL Stitching: Combining multiple GraphQL schemas into a single API gateway.
