Spurtcommerce using MicroService Architecture

Spurtcommerce, built on a microservices architecture, divides its e-commerce platform features into independent, modular services. Each service, such as customer management, product handling, order processing, and admin control, operates separately, enhancing scalability, flexibility, and fault tolerance.

Microservices architecture allows Spurtcommerce to scale individual services based on demand, ensuring efficient resource use and optimized performance. Additionally, the isolation of services provides possibility to further customize the codebase to ensure that the failures in one module do not affect the entire platform, thus maintaining stability. By using microservices, Spurtcommerce ensures a more resilient, scalable, and maintainable e-commerce platform for vendors and customers alike.

I researched a lot of open source ecommerce products and lots of commercial ones. SpurtCommerce was the best value product and the best thing is you can always customize the code.

gRPC - For - Inter Services Communication

gRPC is a high-performance, open-source framework that enables efficient communication between services in a microservices architecture. In a Node.js microservices project like Spurtcommerce, gRPC facilitates fast and reliable communication between different services such as customer management, product handling, and order processing. By using Protocol Buffers (a language-neutral serialization format), gRPC allows for lightweight, binary data transmission, reducing bandwidth usage and improving speed. This ensures that Spurtcommerce’s microservices can interact seamlessly and efficiently, even under high traffic loads, enhancing overall system performance and scalability.

RabbitMQ - For - Event Driven communication

RabbitMQ, a powerful message broker that facilitates communication between microservices in a Spurtcommerce, Node.js-based architecture. In this setup, RabbitMQ enables asynchronous messaging, allowing different services—such as customer management, product handling, and order processing—to exchange information without needing to operate simultaneously. This decouples services, improving system efficiency and resilience. RabbitMQ ensures that tasks like notifications, order updates, and stock adjustments are processed reliably, even during high traffic. By handling message queues, RabbitMQ enhances scalability, fault tolerance, and the overall performance of the microservices ecosystem.

API Gateway

API Gateway is essential for managing communication between the web and mobile front ends and the backend microservices in a Node.js-based platform like Spurtcommerce. It serves as a single entry point, routing API calls from the front end, whether from web browsers or mobile apps, to the appropriate backend services such as customer management, product listings, order processing etc. By implementing a custom API Gateway, Spurtcommerce has full control over traffic, security, and request management, without depending on third-party tools. It helps manage authentication, balance loads, limit requests, and log activity, all while boosting performance, scalability, and security across the microservices.
