🚀 Excited to share my latest project — ApexNode
A backend-focused e-commerce application built with a microservices architecture, where I focused on designing and implementing real-world backend systems.
🔧 What I built:
• API Gateway for managing communication between services
• Independent User, Product, Order & Payment microservices
• Authentication & authorization
• Redis + BullMQ for background job processing
• Rate limiting and service-to-service communication
• Order and inventory management
• Razorpay payment integration with payment workflow and webhooks (currently in Test Mode)
• Error handling and handling service availability/cold-start scenarios
💡 Working on ApexNode helped me understand that backend development is not just about creating APIs — it's also about designing how independent services communicate, handling failures, processing background jobs, and building reliable payment workflows.
I'm continuing to improve the project and deepen my understanding of scalable backend and distributed system design.
