Food Ordering Microservices App in ASP.NET Web API

This project is a microservices-based food ordering application built using ASP.NET Web API and C#. It follows a modular architecture, where each service is independently developed, making the system highly scalable, maintainable, and fault-tolerant.

Services

The application consists of the following core microservices:

• Auth API (ECommerce.Services.AuthAPI): Handles user authentication and authorization, utilizing JWT tokens for secure access.
• Coupon API (ECommerce.Services.CouponAPI): Manages coupon codes and discount-related operations.
• Product API (ECommerce.Services.ProductAPI): Provides product catalog and inventory management functionalities.
• Shopping Cart API (ECommerce.Services.ShoppingCartAPI): Manages the shopping cart, including item additions, removals, and cart persistence.

Additionally, the project has:

• ECommerce.Web: A web front-end for interacting with the microservices.
• Database: A SQL Server database is used for persistence across various services.

Features

• Order Management: Seamless processing of customer orders with real-time updates.
• Authentication & Authorization: Secured user management with JWT tokens.
• Product Catalog: Dynamic product listings with inventory management.
• Discounts: Easy-to-manage coupon codes and promotions.
• Shopping Cart: Robust cart system supporting multiple users and sessions.

Architecture

• Microservices: Each core feature is built as a separate service, allowing for independent deployment and scaling.
• Database: SQL Server is used for relational data storage.
• Message Queue: Uses RabbitMQ for communication between services.
• Containerization: Services are containerized using Docker for seamless deployment and scaling.
• API Gateway: Acts as the entry point for all requests, routing them to the appropriate microservices.

Tech Stack

• ASP.NET Web API for building RESTful services.
• C# as the primary programming language.
• SQL Server for data persistence.

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2022 or later
• .NET 6.0 SDK or later
• SQL Server

Running the Application

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Rizvi-Faiz/Food-Ordering-Microservices-App-in_ASP.NET-WEBAPI.git
   
   

2. Open the solution in Visual Studio: Open the ECommerce.sln file in Visual Studio.

3. Run the services:

   • Use Visual Studio to run each service independently.
   • Alternatively, use Docker Compose to spin up the services in containers.
