70madmax07/ecommerce-api repository overview

⁠E-Commerce Platform REST API

A production-grade, containerized E-Commerce backend service built with Node.js 24 (Alpine), Express, MongoDB (Mongoose), Redis, and WebSockets. Engineered for high-throughput product catalogs, real-time inventory updates, and order workflows.

⁠Architecture & Features

• Redis Look-Aside Caching: In-memory caching on high-frequency catalog endpoints (/api/v1/products) to reduce database load.
• Cache Invalidation: Automated Redis cache purge routines triggered on product creation, updates, and inventory changes.
• Real-Time Communication: WebSocket/Socket.io integration for instant order status transitions and live inventory notifications.
• Transactional Integrity: Guards against race conditions and overselling during checkout operations.
• Lightweight Footprint: Multi-stage build on node:24-alpine stripping development dependencies to keep the image minimal and secure.
