Building a Robust E-Commerce Platform with Go, Clean Architecture, and PostgreSQL

Overview

Our goal is to develop a comprehensive e-commerce solution that can handle everything from product management to order processing. This platform will serve as a robust foundation for online businesses, capable of scaling to meet growing demands and adapting to changing market needs.

Key features of our e-commerce platform include:

  • User authentication and profile management
  • Product catalog with categories and subcategories
  • Shopping cart functionality
  • Secure checkout process with multiple payment options (cash on delivery and razorpay)
  • Order management
  • Inventory management
  • Coupon and discount system
  • Wishlist functionality
  • Admin panel for sales management

Technologies and Architecture

For this project, we're leveraging a powerful stack of modern technologies:

  1. Go (Golang): Our backend is built entirely in Go, known for its performance, simplicity, and excellent support for concurrent operations.
  2. PostgreSQL: As our primary database, PostgreSQL offers robust features for handling complex data relationships and transactions.
  3. Clean Architecture: We're structuring our application following clean architecture principles, ensuring our code is modular, testable, and maintainable.
  4. JWT (JSON Web Tokens): For secure authentication and authorization.
  5. Razorpay: Integrated for handling secure online payments.
  6. Cloudinary: For efficient management and delivery of product images.

What's Next?

In the upcoming posts, we'll dive deep into each aspect of our e-commerce platform. We'll start by setting up our project structure, implementing our database schema, and gradually building out each feature.

Whether you're a seasoned Go developer looking to explore clean architecture, or you're new to e-commerce development, this series will provide valuable insights and practical knowledge you can apply to your own projects.

Stay tuned for our next post, where we'll set up the project structure and lay the groundwork for our e-commerce platform!
