An E-commerce API

One of my most recent projects is an E-commerce API that has helped me solidify more advanced concepts in Django and Django Rest Framework. I learned to work in a dockerized environment and use Nginx, Gunicorn ... inside Docker to make my application production ready.

Basic Functionalities

• Registration using either phone number or email
• Basic E-commerce features.
• Payment integration using Stripe.
• Caching using a Redis backend.
• Sending emails asynchronously using Celery and Redis as a message broker.
• Custom permissions set for necessary endpoints.
• Documentation using DRF Spectacular
• Dockerized for local development and production

Technologies Used

• Django Rest Framework
• PostgreSQL
• Celery
• Redis
• Nginx
• Docker
• Stripe

This project makes use of:

• Viewsets
• Custom permissions
• Nested serializers and so on. If you would like to strengthen your skills, I highly recommend you to check it out

I used Docker for local development and it has been so great! And then, with some adjustments, the application is production ready.

Tip: you can export your database schema to a SQL file using the command below:

docker exec -i [container_id] pg_dump -U [postgres_user]  --schema-only [database_name] > [target_path]

Enter fullscreen modeExit fullscreen mode

And then use this tool https://dbdiagram.io/ to generate ER diagram while playing around with the SQL code.
