Online Shopping System - Microservices Backend

Overview

This project is a microservices-based Spring Boot application that serves as the backend for an online shopping system. The system is divided into multiple microservices, each handling a specific business domain, ensuring scalability and maintainability.

Microservices Architecture

The backend consists of five microservices, each responsible for a distinct function:

• Cart Service - Manages shopping cart operations.
• Item Service - Handles product details and inventory.
• Pay Service - Processes payments and transactions.
• Trade Service - Manages orders and transactions.
• User Service - Handles user authentication and profile management.

Deployment

All microservices are containerized and deployed using Docker, along with supporting services:

• MySQL - Database for storing application data.
• Nginx - Reverse proxy and load balancer.
• Nacos - Service discovery and configuration management.

Technologies Used

• Spring Boot - Microservices framework
• Spring Cloud - Microservices orchestration
• Spring Cloud OpenFeign - Declarative REST client for service-to-service communication
• Docker - Containerization
• MySQL - Relational database
• Nginx - Load balancing and proxy server
• Nacos - Service registry and configuration center

Running the Project

Ensure that you have Docker installed and run the following command to start all services:

docker-compose up -d

Future Enhancements

• Implement API Gateway for centralized routing and security.
• Add Redis caching for improved performance.
• Implement CI/CD pipeline for automated deployment.
