Marketplace App Template

The Marketplace App Template is a comprehensive solution designed with scalability in mind, encompassing both the backend and frontend components of a marketplace application. Leveraging Rust for the backend and React.js for the frontend, the project integrates a range of cutting-edge technologies to deliver a robust and efficient marketplace experience.

NOTE: Check out the Getting Started Guide and the SCHEMATICS for in-depth walkthrough!

Key Technologies:

• API: Tonic Rust

  • The backend, written in Rust, utilizes the gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call) framework for efficient and high-performance communication between services.

• Database: Sqlx Postgres

  • The project employs a Postgres database for reliable and scalable data storage, supporting the dynamic requirements of a marketplace.

• Frontend: React.js TypeScript

  • The frontend is built using React.js, providing a responsive and user-friendly interface for seamless user interactions.

Features:

• Search Engine Integration (Meilisearch):

  • Leveraging Meilisearch, the project incorporates a powerful search engine to enhance discoverability and navigation within the marketplace.

• Recommender System:

  • Future plans include the integration of a recommender system, with options to either develop a custom solution utilizing machine learning techniques or adopt proven solutions like Gorse.

• Payment Processing with Stripe:

  • The payment process is facilitated by Stripe, ensuring secure and seamless transactions within the marketplace.

Next Steps:

Continued development will focus on refining existing features, implementing the recommender system, and exploring additional functionalities to enrich the user experience. Additionally, upon further experimentation, inclusion of a NoSQL database solution will most likely be made. Finally, setting up a robust CI/CD environment is crucial for production demands, so CircleCI, way to go!
