1. Summary

Ecommerce web platform for online food delivery service.
Offer a wide range of inventories for easy customer purchase.
Integrated with payment system

2. Responsibility

As a Full Stack Developer, I was responsible for architecting and developing the complete eCommerce platform from the ground up. My duties encompassed creating the entire frontend interface, designing and implementing backend APIs, and integrating secure and efficient payment systems.

3. Technical Overview

3.1 Frontend

I developed the eCommerce platform for online food delivery services using a modern and efficient tech stack. The frontend was built with Next.js, leveraging its server-side rendering capabilities to ensure fast and SEO-friendly user experiences. Tailwind CSS was employed for styling, providing a highly customizable and responsive design system that allowed for rapid UI development.

3.2 Backend

On the backend, the platform uses MongoDB as its database, chosen for its scalability and flexibility in handling the dynamic data structure inherent in food delivery services. I implemented RESTful APIs to facilitate seamless communication between the frontend and backend services, ensuring efficient data exchange and smooth user interactions.

3.3 Security

Authentication and user management were handled through JWT (JSON Web Tokens), providing a secure and scalable way to manage user sessions. Additionally, I integrated third-party payment gateways and real-time tracking features to enhance the overall functionality of the platform.

Overall, this robust system was designed to be highly scalable, secure, and user-friendly, catering to the complex needs of online food delivery services.

4. Challenge

Issue:

One of the significant challenges I encountered during the development of this eCommerce platform was ensuring efficient and seamless communication between the frontend and backend systems.

Solution:

To address this, I implemented state management using Redux and useContext within the React component architecture provided by Next.js.

The integration of Redux allowed for a centralized state management approach, which simplified the handling of complex state transitions and asynchronous operations, such as API calls and user interactions. This ensured consistent data flow and provided a predictable state throughout the application.
