Django Ecommerce Shop

A full-stack online shop built with Django with payments, coupons, and discounts.

Key features

• Authentication is done using Django's built-in authentication module for authentication but extended to allow email and password authentication.
• Payments with Stripe, with webhooks used to verify the payment status
• Sending order and payment confirmation messages asynchronously with RabbitMQ and Celery. Celery is used as the task processor and RabbitMQ as the message broker.
• Product recommendations for products frequently bought together. This is implemented using Redis.
• Both logged in and anonymous (unauthenticated users) can place orders

Quick Project Demo

Tech Stack:

• Django
• PostgreSQL database
• Celery for processing tasks asynchronously
• RabbitMQ as a message broker
• Stripe for payment processing
• Redis for product recommendations
• Nginx as 1) a reverse proxy (sitting in front of your uWSGI application server) and 2) a static file server for serving static files directly instead of the slow Django server
• Docker for containerization and Docker Compose to manage the multi-container setup

How to run

For development:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d

For production:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

NB: You need to specify .env.dev for development and .env.prod for production at the root

Building a multi-architecture image

1. Enable BuildKit:

   export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1

2. Create a new builder:

   docker buildx create --name mybuilder --use

   NB: You can remove the builder by running the following command:

   docker buildx rm mybuilder

3. Build and push the image:

   docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t [dockerhubusername]/[dockerhubimagename]:[tag] --push .

   Example:

   docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t rasterzoo/ecom:v0.0.3 --push .
