A scalable and modular e-commerce platform built using Spring Boot and a microservices architecture. It demonstrates robust service integration with API Gateway, Kafka for async messaging, MongoDB for flexible schema support, and Helm/Kubernetes for cloud-native deployment.
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Config Service | Centralized external configuration using Spring Cloud Config |
| Discovery Service | Eureka service registry for microservice discovery |
| Gateway Service | API Gateway using Spring Cloud Gateway for routing and security |
| Product Service | Manages product listings and categories |
| Order Service | Handles customer orders and workflows |
| Inventory Service | Tracks and updates stock in real-time |
| Payment Service | Processes secure payments |
| Notification Service (optional) | Sends email/SMS notifications |
