About the Project

A growing e-commerce company is looking for a scalable and robust cloud infrastructure to manage its online sales operations. The platform must support a high volume of transactions, provide a smooth user experience through a main portal, enable internal management of products and orders through a backoffice portal, and offer advanced analytics capabilities on sales data for strategic decision-making.
In addition, the platform must be able to efficiently handle intensive tasks—or tasks that do not require an immediate user response—in the background, ensuring the user experience is not affected by long-running processes such as order confirmations, complex inventory updates, or mass notification generation.

Proposed Architecture

The diagram represents the proposed architecture for an e-commerce platform with analytics capabilities, implemented using Microsoft Azure services. It is divided into four logical layers.

1. Authentication Layer

To centralize authentication for customers and administrators. It integrates with both portals through secure login and authorization flows.

2. Application Layer

Both web portals (Main Portal and Backoffice) are deployed as Azure Web Apps and interact with data storage and queue services for asynchronous processing.

3. Background Processing Layer

This layer handles tasks that do not require an immediate response, improving overall performance and user experience.

4. Data Layer

Ensures persistent storage for operational information such as products, users, and orders, and supports analysis of the generated data.

Project Content

The modular design based on multiple repositories enabled a clear separation of responsibilities and makes code maintenance easier. This split aligns with infrastructure best practices, where each component has a specific function.
