Here’s the updated README for the Microservices Backend project:

---

Microservices Backend - Platform

Microservices Backend is an platform built using a microservices architecture in Node.js. It leverages RPC communication for seamless interaction between services and is containerized using Docker to ensure scalability and reliability. The platform allows for rapid iteration and deployment, making it highly suitable for managing product listings, user interactions, and purchases.

Key Features

• Microservices Architecture: Each core functionality of the platform (e.g., user service, product service, cart service) is developed as an independent microservice, allowing for modularity and scalability.

• RPC Communication: Microservices communicate with each other using Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to enable seamless service interaction and data flow.

• CI/CD Integration: Git CI/CD pipelines are implemented to automate the development workflow, allowing for continuous integration and deployment of new features, improving the overall user experience.

• Docker Containerization: The platform is containerized using Docker, ensuring that each service can be scaled and deployed efficiently, enhancing reliability and scalability.

• AWS Deployment: The platform is deployed using AWS infrastructure, providing cloud-based solutions for hosting and scaling the services.

Technology Stack

• Backend: Node.js
• Microservices: Independent services for user, product, cart, etc.
• Communication: RPC (Remote Procedure Call)
• Containerization: Docker
• Cloud Infrastructure: AWS (Amazon Web Services)
• CI/CD: Git-based pipelines for continuous integration and deployment

Installation and Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/YourUsername/Microservices-Backend.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd Microservices-Backend

3. Install dependencies for each microservice:

   cd service-name
   npm install

4. Set up environment variables:

   • Ensure you have environment variables for AWS access, database connections, and other necessary configurations.

5. Run Docker containers:

   docker-compose up --build

6. Access the platform:
   The platform will be accessible at http://localhost:<port> based on the service.
