This project is a microservices-based system designed for a supermarket using Spring Boot. The system is aimed at providing a seamless shopping experience for customers while efficiently managing inventory and order fulfillment. The architecture is designed to be scalable, modular, and resilient.

Customer Management:

Customers can register and sign in to the system. Customers can browse the available items and add them to their shopping cart. A secure authentication mechanism is implemented for customer accounts.

Inventory Management:

Inventory keepers can add new items to the inventory. Each item in the inventory has attributes such as name, price, and quantity.

Order Processing:

Customers can place orders for the items in their shopping cart. Inventory keepers receive orders and update the inventory accordingly. Order status is tracked from placement to preparation.

Delivery:

Once an order is prepared, it is assigned to a delivery person. Delivery persons pick up orders and deliver them to customers. Customers can track the progress of their orders in real-time.

The system is divided into the following microservices:

Authentication Service: Manages customer registration, authentication, and shopping cart.

Inventory Service: Handles the addition of items to the inventory and provides information on available items.

Order Service: Manages order placement, processing, and tracking.

Delivery Service: Coordinates the assignment of orders to delivery persons and order delivery.

-> Spring Boot: The microservices are developed using the Spring Boot framework.

-> RESTful APIs: Used for communication between microservices. -Details coming soon-

#How to Run

1. Prerequisites: Ensure you have Java 8 or later installed.

2. Clone the Repository: git clone https://github.com/nimash3eshan/EzeeCart-Backend.git cd EzeeCart-Backend

3. Build and Run Microservices:

Each microservice has its setup. Build and run each microservice. cd auth-service -Details coming soon-

Repeat the above steps for other microservices

Microservices will be accessible at the following ports:

• Authentication Service: http://localhost:8084
• Inventory Service 1: http://localhost:8082
• Inventory Service 2: http://localhost:8086
• Order Service: http://localhost:8081
• Delivery Service: http://localhost:8083
• Image Service: http://localhost:8085
• Discovery Service: http://localhost:8761
• API-Gateway Service: http://localhost:8080

Optional: Frontend Development: If you want to develop a frontend, you can connect it to the microservices using the provided RESTful APIs.

• Implement frontend for a complete end-to-end shopping experience.
• Integrate payment gateway for online transactions.
• Implement caching and load balancing for improved performance.
