Overview
I developed a comprehensive e-commerce platform with a focus on streamlining operations through integrated shipping management and automated workflows. The project involved creating a sophisticated database schema with complex relations and implementing third-party shipping provider APIs to centralize all business operations in a single dashboard.
Key Features
- Advanced Order Management: Implemented a robust order tracking system with multiple status stages.
- Shipping Integration: Developed direct integrations with shipping providers' APIs, eliminating the need for separate shipping management software.
- Multi-Address Management: Created a flexible address management system supporting multiple shipping locations per user with validation.
- Cart System: Built a sophisticated shopping cart with real-time inventory management and price calculations.
- Role-Based Authentication (RBA): Implemented a robust RBA system to control user access and permissions.
Technologies Used
- PostgreSQL: Primary database with complex relations and constraints
- Prisma ORM: For type-safe database operations
- RESTful APIs: For shipping provider integrations
- TypeScript: For static type checking and better code maintainability
- Next.js: For server-side rendering and static site generation
Technical Challenges
- Complex Database Relations: Designed and implemented a sophisticated database schema handling multiple entity relationships and business rules.
- Shipping Integration: Successfully integrated shipping providers' APIs into a unified interface.
- Inventory Management: Implemented category/product management solution across multiple operations (cart, orders, cancellations).
- Order Tracking: Created an order tracking system with multiple status updates and automated notifications.
Business Solutions
