Phase-2 Solution Architecture

Overview

This document outlines the solution architecture for an e-commerce platform integration,
focusing on synchronizing data between the React.js front-end and the Node.js back-end. The
architecture ensures seamless data flow, real-time updates, secure transactions, and efficient state
management for an optimal user experience.

Technical Requirements:
Front-End (React.js):

● React.js for building a dynamic, component-based user interface.


● Redux/Context API for state management (e.g., user session, shopping cart).
● Axios/Fetch API for HTTP requests.
● Socket.io-client for real-time updates (e.g., inventory changes, order status).
● Bootstrap/Material-UI for responsive UI design.
Back-End (Node.js):

● Node.js for server-side logic.


● Express.js for RESTful API to handle requests (product management, order processing,
user authentication).
● Socket.io for real-time bi-directional communication.
● JWT for authentication and secure user sessions.
● Stripe/PayPal API for payment processing.
● MongoDB for data storage.
● Mongoose for MongoDB schema and validation.
● CORS for handling cross-origin requests.
● Bcrypt.js for password hashing.

Database (MongoDB):

● MongoDB for storing product details, user profiles, orders, and transaction history.

● Mongoose ORM for schema validation and interactions with MongoDB.

Payment Integration:

● Stripe for credit card and wallet payments.


● PayPal for PayPal transactions.

Authentication & Security:

● JWT for secure, token-based authentication.


● Bcrypt.js for password hashing and comparison.
● Helmet.js for securing HTTP headers in Node.js.
● Rate Limiting (using libraries like express-rate-limit) to prevent brute-force attacks.
● CORS for managing cross-origin requests.

Architectural Components:

Client Layer (React.js Front-End):

● React.js: Dynamic, component-based user interface.


● State Management: Uses Redux or Context API to manage global states like user session,
shopping cart.
● Socket.io-client: Establishes WebSocket connection with the server for real-time data
updates (e.g., inventory changes, order status).
● JWT Authentication: Manages user authentication and stores JWT tokens in HTTP-only
cookies or local storage for session security.

Application Layer (Node.js Back-End):

● Node.js & Express.js :Handles API requests for user authentication, product management,
and order processing.
● Socket.io: Manages real-time updates for inventory changes, order status, and notifications.
● JWT Authentication Middleware: Secures sensitive API routes (user login, registration,
account details) using JWT tokens.
● Payment Gateway Integration: Communicates with Stripe/PayPal API to securely process
payments for subscriptions.
● REST API: Provides JSON responses for front-end requests (e.g., product details,user
profile).
● Bcrypt.js: Secures user passwords by hashing them.

Database Layer (MongoDB):

● MongoDB: Stores documents related to product catalog, user profiles, orders, and
transaction history.
● Mongoose ORM: Manages schema validation for entities like products, users, and orders.

● Sharding: MongoDB supports horizontal scaling to handle large media datasets and high-
volume traffic.
Component Diagram:

This diagram illustrates the data synchronization between React.js front-end Node.js back-end in
an e-commerce platform:

Detailed Workflow:

1. User Registration & Authentication:


o User enters credentials (email, password) in the front-end.
o Front-end sends a POST request to the Node.js back-end for authentication.
o Back-end verifies credentials and issues a JWT token if valid.
o Front-end stores the JWT token and uses it to make authenticated API requests
for user-related features.
2. Real-Time Streaming Control:
o User adds or removes items from the cart in the front-end.
o Front-end communicates with the back-end via Socket.io to synchronize
inventory changes.
o Server updates inventory levels and sends real-time updates to all connected
clients.

3. Payment Processing:
o User selects products and proceeds to checkout.
o Front-end collects payment information (credit card, PayPal) and sends it to the
back-end.
o Back-end calls Stripe/PayPal API to process the payment.
o After successful payment, back-end updates the order status and sends a
confirmation via Socket.io.

4. Order & Subscription Management:


o The back-end stores order details in MongoDB and updates the user profile.
o The back-end sends a notification to the front-end about successful order
placement and status updates.

Scalability & Performance:

● Horizontal Scaling: The system is designed for horizontal scalability, allowing multiple
Node.js instances to be deployed behind a load balancer to handle increasing traffic.
● Real-Time Updates: Socket.io enables low-latency communication between the front-end
and back-end, ensuring smooth and instant media updates.
● Database Sharding: MongoDB’s sharding feature ensures efficient handling of large
datasets and rapid data access across high-traffic systems.

Conclusion

This solution architecture provides a scalable, secure, and user-friendly e-commerce platform
that supports real-time data synchronization, user authentication, and payment processing. It
ensures a seamless shopping experience for users while securing sensitive data and offering
flexible payment options.
