Hostel Bazaar: E-commerce for the Hostel 🛍️

A microserviced e-commerce application.

📚 | Introduction

• Hostel Bazaar is an e-commerce application built with microservices in mind.
• It uses Redis as a cache, and MongoDB as a NoSQL database.
• It uses express-gateway that acts as a API Gateway for the microservices.
• It uses RabbitMQ as a message broker for asynchronous communication between microservices.

Disclaimer

• This is a demo application of an E-commerce application following the guidelines of the Microservices Architecture pattern.

🚀 | Usage

⌛ | Let's talk about Microservices

• Scalability: Microservices allow for easier scaling as each service can be scaled independently based on its load. In contrast, monolithic applications have to be scaled as a whole.

• Resilience: Microservices offer better resilience as if one service fails, other services can continue to operate normally. In contrast, if a monolithic application fails, the entire system fails.

• Flexibility: Microservices allow for flexibility in technology stacks as each service can use a different stack based on its specific requirements. In contrast, monolithic applications have to use the same technology stack throughout the application.

• Continuous Deployment:: Microservices make continuous deployment easier as each service can be deployed independently. In contrast, monolithic applications have to be deployed as a whole, which can be more complex and time-consuming.

• Easy maintenance: Microservices make maintenance easier as each service can be maintained and updated independently. In contrast, monolithic applications require more effort and coordination to maintain and update.
