Welcome to the foundational infrastructure repository for a production-grade, microservices-based e-commerce backend built with Java Spring Boot. This project is a personal initiative to gain hands-on experience designing scalable distributed systems, applying real-world DevOps practices, and building enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines.
This GitHub organization hosts the core infrastructure, shared tooling, and operational backbone enabling secure, maintainable development and deployment for a modern e-commerce backend.
I created this platform to simulate the kind of architecture and workflows used by real-world engineering teams. The goals include:
- Practicing microservice design patterns using Spring Boot
- Implementing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
- Managing secrets, configs, and observability like a production system
- Applying infrastructure-as-code with Docker, Helm, and Terraform
- Gaining experience with system design, integration testing, and monitoring
This platform follows best practices in microservices architecture, DevOps automation, and observability to support a reliable and modular e-commerce system.
- Authentication & Authorization: JWT-based auth with RBAC
- User Management: Profile and account details
- Product & Inventory: Catalog and stock tracking
- Order & Payment: Checkout and payment orchestration
- Notifications: Email and SMS event triggers
- API Gateway: Unified entry point with throttling and auth checks
- Service Discovery: Dynamic registry with Eureka
- Centralized Config: Externalized config via Spring Cloud Config
- Secrets Management: Vault-integrated secrets and templated
.envs - Observability: ELK stack with structured logging
- CI/CD: Reusable GitHub Actions for linting, testing, security, and Docker publishing
- Local Dev: Docker Compose environment with PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and all services
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions with reusable workflow templates
- Testing: Unit, integration (Testcontainers), coverage, and OWASP scanning
- Monitoring & Logging: ELK Stack, future Datadog/Prometheus support
- Infra-as-Code: Docker, Helm, and Terraform for infrastructure provisioning
