V.1.0

Overview

This release includes the initial version of the e-commerce API application with full functionality for managing brands, categories, products, orders, payments, and more. Key integrations and features are included to ensure smooth operations and scalability.

Key Features

• Docker Compose Setup:
  The project includes Docker Compose configurations to easily set up and run the API, Redis caching, and SQL Server database.

• Health Check Endpoint:
  A unified /health endpoint that monitors the status of key system components:

  • SQL Server Database: Ensures database connectivity.
  • Redis Caching: Confirms the availability of the Redis service.
  • Hangfire Job Processing: Verifies background job processing.
  • Mail Service: Checks if the mail service is operational.

• API Endpoints:
  Product management endpoints allow product filtering by brand, category, search keywords, and sorting.
  Complete endpoints for user authentication, order management, basket management, and payment processing.

• Rate Limiting:
  The API uses rate limiting strategies to protect against misuse:

  • Fixed window
  • Sliding window
  • Concurrency control to limit simultaneous requests.

• API Versioning:
  Supports multiple API versions to ensure backward compatibility. Clients can specify the API version via URL, query string, or headers.

Error Handling and Global Exception Handling

• Global Error Exception Handling:
  The application includes a global exception handler that captures and processes unhandled exceptions. This ensures that all errors are logged appropriately and that clients receive consistent error responses in a standardized format.

• Result Pattern for Error Handling:
  The result pattern is used to handle both success and error responses across the API. Instead of throwing exceptions, functions return a Result object that encapsulates either a successful result or an error. This pattern simplifies error handling and improves the reliability of API responses.

  • Success Responses:
    When operations succeed, the result pattern returns a structured success object containing the necessary data and success message.

  • Error Responses:
    When errors occur, the result object provides a consistent error message and status code, ensuring clients receive clear and actionable information.
