Project Overview
Design a distributed system where separate services handle user authentication, inventory management, and order processing, communicating via a message broker. This simulates exactly how massive applications like Amazon or Netflix handle scaling.
Real World Use Case
Handling high-traffic online shopping events without system failure.
Steps to Build
Create isolated Node.js microservices with Express.
Set up RabbitMQ for asynchronous service-to-service communication.
Implement an API Gateway to route client requests.
Dockerize each service and create a docker-compose file.
Use Redis for caching high-read product data.
Resume Impact
Shows you can design scalable, distributed systems instead of just simple monolithic CRUD apps.
