E-commerce: Everest Book Store
A comprehensive case study on how we built a highly scalable microservices architecture using modern tooling.
Challenge
Developing a unified e-commerce experience across multiple platforms (Web, Mobile, and Wearables) while maintaining a synchronized backend and efficient media delivery for a large inventory of books.
Objectives
- Build a cross-platform system with a centralized REST API.
- Implement an administrative interface for real-time inventory and order management.
- Integrate hardware-specific features, including WearOS support and Android sensor triggers.
Solution
We developed a robust backend using Node.js and Express, creating a RESTful API that served as the single source of truth for all data.
For the frontend, we utilized React for the web application and React Native for the mobile app, ensuring code reusability while maintaining platform-specific optimizations.
The administrative interface was built with React, providing real-time updates via WebSockets for inventory changes and order processing.
Hardware integration was achieved through the Android SDK, enabling features like NFC-based book scanning and WearOS integration for quick order tracking.
