BookStore Microservices Project

The project aims to design and implement a platform for customers to search, purchase, and review books. The platform is built using a microservices architecture, leveraging Spring Cloud to ensure scalability and maintainability. The application provides a seamless user experience, allowing customers to easily navigate through available books, manage their shopping cart, and complete transactions securely.

Microservices Architecture:

Designed with a microservices architecture to enhance scalability and resilience. Distributes requests across multiple instances to ensure high availability. Service Discovery and Centralized Configuration:

Integrates service discovery mechanisms for efficient management of microservices. Implements centralized configuration for easy service management. Transaction Monitoring:

Utilizes Zipkin for monitoring web transactions, providing insights into performance and bottlenecks. Docker Integration:

The entire application is containerized using Docker and orchestrated with Docker Compose for easy deployment and scalability.

Key features:

1. Catalog Service:

   • Manages a comprehensive catalog of available books.
   • Enables book searches by title, author, and genre.

2. Shopping Cart Service:

   • Allows users to add and remove books from their shopping carts.
   • Manages order details prior to payment, stored in a SQL database.

3. User Management Service:

   • Handles user registration, authentication, and role-based access control.
   • Implements Spring Security with JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure user authentication.

4. Review Service:

   • Enables users to submit reviews and ratings for purchased books.
   • Stores user reviews in a SQL database for easy access and management.

5. Notification and Reporting Service:

   • Sends email notifications for user validation upon registration.
   • Provides purchase invoices via email post-transaction.

6. API Gateway:

   • Acts as a single entry point for the application, routing client requests to the appropriate microservices.
   • Utilizes Spring Cloud Gateway for dynamic routing, filtering, and error handling.

7. Payment Integration:

   • Simulates credit card payments using PayPal, providing a smooth checkout experience.
   • Displays transaction summaries and sends transactional emails with invoice details.

8. Dashboard and Analytics:

   • Features a dashboard with graphs displaying purchase trends and pending requests for the current day.
   • Allows users to view their purchase history and administrators to monitor all customer transactions.

9. Security Measures:

   • Implements security frameworks to safeguard against unauthorized access.
   • Ensures secure handling of sensitive user data and transaction information.
