Ecommerce Microservices Backend

A microservice-based commerce backend that splits auth and cart concerns into separate services behind an API gateway.

Challenge

As systems grow, a monolith becomes harder to maintain, and isolated business concerns need clearer boundaries.

Solution

I separated the backend into service-oriented parts and used a gateway pattern so each concern could evolve more safely.

Impact

The architecture makes scaling, maintenance, and future feature work easier to reason about.

Challenge

As systems grow, a monolith becomes harder to maintain and scale.

Solution

I separated the backend into service-oriented parts so each business concern could evolve more safely and independently.

What I Built

  • Service-based backend structure
  • Clear separation of business responsibilities
  • API-first communication between parts of the system
  • A foundation that can support future team scaling
  • Architecture choices that reduce coupling

Impact

The architecture makes future scaling, maintenance, and feature expansion easier to manage.

Why It Matters

It shows that I understand backend design beyond CRUD and can think in terms of systems.
