• Managing a large and specialized product catalog
• Ensuring accurate product data and compatibility details
• Optimizing performance for image-heavy listings

• E-commerce Platform Selection: Selected standard catalog data structures over custom database schemas to leverage proven order and shopping cart state designs. The trade-off was managing catalog data synchronization complexities, which was preferred over building custom transaction logic.
• Database Catalog Indexing: Used relational database-level indexing for simple catalog lookups. Accepted the trade-off of higher memory usage on database nodes to avoid the operational complexity of integrating an external search engine.

• Product catalog with detailed descriptions
• Search and category-based browsing
• Secure checkout and payment processing
• Inventory management capabilities

• Schema Drift Control: Established strict migrations scripts checks to verify database schema consistency across staging and production environments.
