Prologue

This document should be considered a brainstorm of ideas.

There is no guarantee that I will implement any listed features or functionality below. After all, I initially made this application as an experiment with EDA, and there are areas that could use improvement and expansion (the application is a prototype in current format). Some of the current implemented functionality is quite bare-bones, so if I come to revisit this project at a later date this document is where I'd first look.

However, contributions are welcome; if you feel like implementing something (already below or not), or otherwise spot other areas that could use improvement, then please feel free to open an issue to discuss or a pull request with your implementation.

Feature Ideas

• Front-end user interface
  • Allow interfaces with the application through alternatives means
• Notification service
  • Send notifications to users (e.g. through a mock email or a unread messages mechanism) upon reciept of events related to order status changes (i.e. OrderApprovedEvent)
• Product recommendation service
  • Provide a list of recommended products catered to specific customers

Miscellaneous Ideas

• Integration tests
• Ensured idempotency in event consumers (service-side)
• Clear-up of event processes
• Kubernetes deployment (prepare manifest files)
• Interchangable infrastructure
  • Support for NATS as a message broker
  • Support for MongoDB as a database
