While working on the Creed Homewares e-commerce platform, I built a dedicated email microservice to handle transactional emails separately from the main application.
Instead of coupling email logic directly into the core backend, the service was designed to manage email delivery independently, making the system easier to maintain, scale, and troubleshoot.
Some benefits of this approach:
• Cleaner backend architecture • Separation of concerns • Easier debugging and monitoring • Better scalability for future growth • Reusable across multiple applications
It's a relatively small service, but projects like these are a good reminder that software engineering isn't only about building features—it's also about designing systems that remain maintainable as they grow.
Built with Node.js, Express.js, and modern backend practices.
