Conduit — E-Commerce Microservices Platform

Status: ✅ Production-ready (development complete)

Overview

Conduit is a fully implemented e-commerce microservices platform built with an architecture-first, backend-driven approach.

The system demonstrates modern e-commerce backend design: clear service boundaries, explicit communication contracts, and scalable infrastructure with minimal technical debt.

Each service is independently deployable and communicates over well-defined interfaces.

---

Services

The platform consists of the following core services:

• API Service

  • Public-facing REST API
  • Entry point for all client requests
  • Delegates business logic to internal services

• gRPC Service

  • Central business logic layer
  • Handles domain operations (orders, users, sessions, etc.)
  • Exposes internal APIs via gRPC

• Notification Service

  • Asynchronous event-driven service
  • Handles notifications (e.g., order events)
  • Fully decoupled from core business logic

---

Architecture

Conduit follows industry-proven backend design principles:

• Microservices Architecture
• Clean Architecture
• Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters) Architecture
• Explicit service-to-service communication (REST + gRPC)
• Separation of infrastructure, domain, and application layers

---

Tech Stack

• Go
• REST & gRPC
• Docker & Docker Compose
• MySQL
• Clean / Hexagonal Architecture

---

Project Goals

• Showcase real-world microservice design
• Avoid tight coupling and shared state
• Model production-grade backend systems
• Provide a foundation for future extensions (auth, payments, search, etc.)

---

Status

All planned services are implemented and fully integrated.
The project is feature-complete and ready for deployment or further extension.
