E-Commerce API Service
A Node.js API supporting products, authentication, shopping carts, and orders, deployed with Docker.
What it’s built for
E-commerce frontends require a reliable, containerized REST API backend with consistent deployment environments, robust security middleware, and structured database queries.
My contribution
- Containerized using Docker and deployed as a live Web Service on Render cloud.
- Engineered secure JWT authentication and role-based route protection.
- Implemented scalable MongoDB schemas for products, users, cart, and orders.
Inside the build
Consumable by any frontend application via structured REST JSON responses.
Node.js, Express.js, Docker Containerization, CORS middleware, Express Validator.
The development challenges
- Configuring Docker container builds to optimize image size and startup latency on Render.
- Designing clean Mongoose schemas with indexes for fast query execution.
- Implementing structured error handling middleware that returns consistent JSON error payloads.
