This is a microservices-based e-commerce application built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js). The application is designed to be scalable and modular, with each service handling a specific aspect of the e-commerce platform.
- User authentication and authorization. (JWT Auth and Refresh Tokens)
- Product listing and search
- Shopping cart and order management
- Payment processing with Stripe
- Event-driven communication using RabbitMQ
The application is divided into several microservices:
user-service: Handles user authentication and authorization.product-service: Manages product listings and search functionality.order-service: Handles shopping cart and order management. Integrates with Stripe for payment processing.
Communication between services is facilitated by RabbitMQ, ensuring a decoupled and scalable architecture.
