Unleashing Django’s Power: Building Agile Microservices

In this project, we will learn to develop a platform and create RESTful APIs with Django to enable seamless communication between microservices. Additionally, we will gain expertise in testing and validating the microservice APIs and implementing robust security measures.

Project Description

In this project, we’ll develop a microservices architecture using the Django web framework. Microservices are a modern architectural approach that enables the development of modular, scalable, and maintainable software systems. We’ll leverage Django, a robust and versatile framework, to build microservices that can perform specific tasks or functions within a larger system. The project provides an excellent opportunity to explore microservices architectures and gain hands-on experience.

In this project, we’ll create and integrate the following four microservices:

  • User: Handles user authentication and management

  • Product: Manages product information, including CRUD operations

  • Order: Deals with creating, updating, and managing orders

  • Payment: Handles payment processing and integration with payment gateways

We’ll also perform API testing using the terminal and then write extensive test cases for each microservice. By the end of this project, we’ll have a fully functional microservice developed with Django’s REST framework that will be ready for integration into larger systems.
