ORDER-SERVICE

This repository implements a GoLang microservice for managing orders within a larger application. It utilizes the GoFr framework for building a RESTful API.

Features

• Create, retrieve, update, and delete orders.
• Manage order lifecycle states (e.g., placed, confirmed, shipped, delivered, cancelled).
• Integrate with other microservices for functionalities like inventory management and payment processing.

Architecture

This service adheres to a microservice architecture, promoting:

• Scalability: Independent scaling based on order volume.
• Resilience: Failure in one service minimizes impact on others.
• Maintainability: Smaller codebases for focused development.

Technologies

• GoLang: The primary programming language for the service.
• GoFr: An Opinionated Go Framework, for accelerated microservice development.

Getting Started

• Ensure you have GoLang and Git installed on your system.
• Clone the repository:

git clone [email protected]:srijan-27/order-service.git

• Run the service:

go run main.go

By default, the service listens on port 8080. You can adjust this by setting the HTTP_PORT environment variable.

API Documentation

Detailed API documentation with endpoints and request/response formats will be added in a separate file (e.g., docs.md).
