Key Features

01

Modular Architecture

Separated frontend and backend into independent modules with clearly defined contracts. Each domain (products, orders, users) lives in its own layer — easy to scale, test, and replace independently.

02

Advanced Filtering & Caching

Multi-parameter filtering with URL-synced state, server-side pagination, and Redis caching layer. Category trees, price ranges, and attribute filters compose into a single optimized query.

03

Authentication

JWT-based auth with refresh token rotation. Simple role system. Protected routes enforce access at both API middleware and component level.

04

Scalable Architecture Foundations

Designed with clear separation of concerns and stateless API boundaries, allowing the system to evolve and scale if infrastructure complexity grows.

Challenges & Solutions

Real problems encountered during development and how they were resolved.

Problem

Keeping cart, inventory, and pricing consistent

Solution

Optimistic UI updates on the client, with server-side validation and correction if conflicts occur

Problem

Search performance degrading with large product catalog

Solution

Integrated Meilisearch for full-text search with typo tolerance; results cached in Redis to avoid redundant queries on repeated searches

Problem

Dashboard slows down with many orders

Solution

Implemented virtualized lists and simple pagination to keep UI responsive; analytics data loaded on demand
