About this project

Decompose an e-commerce backend into 5 microservices (User, Catalogue, Cart, Order, Payment). Each in its own container, communicating via REST + Kafka. Deploy on Kubernetes (minikube or kind). Include API gateway + observability (Prometheus + Grafana).

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):
CLO1: Apply microservices architecture principles in a non-trivial system.
CLO2: Containerize services + define multi-container deployments.
CLO3: Operate a local Kubernetes cluster with multi-service deployments.
CLO4: Implement observability with metrics + dashboards.
CLO5: Design CI/CD workflows for automated deployments.

Industry/societal relevance: Every Indian unicorn (Flipkart, Zomato, Swiggy, Razorpay) is on K8s + microservices; this is the most direct prep for SDE-2 / Cloud-Engineer interviews.
