Project overview

The SmartCart project aimed to revolutionize online shopping experiences by integrating artificial intelligence into a sleek, user-friendly e-commerce platform. Built using React for the frontend and Node.js with Express for the backend, the application offers personalized product recommendations, real-time inventory tracking, and dynamic pricing features.

The core functionality includes secure user authentication via JWT, responsive design using Tailwind CSS, and a robust PostgreSQL database to manage products, orders, and user data. AI algorithms were implemented through Python microservices to analyze user behavior and suggest relevant products, enhancing conversion rates.

SmartCart also supports an intuitive admin dashboard, enabling vendors to track sales analytics, manage inventory, and set promotional campaigns. APIs were developed to facilitate seamless integration with popular payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal.

A major highlight was the deployment pipeline, which used GitHub Actions for CI/CD and Docker containers hosted on AWS EC2 instances. The project emphasized clean code, scalability, and modular architecture.

Project challenge

Developing SmartCart presented several challenges. Integrating AI-driven recommendations required handling complex data patterns and ensuring real-time analysis without slowing performance. Cross-browser compatibility issues arose due to responsive design constraints. Managing secure authentication and protecting user data from potential breaches demanded rigorous testing and encryption strategies. Synchronizing the frontend with backend APIs occasionally led to inconsistencies, requiring thorough debugging. Implementing seamless payment gateways also posed hurdles, especially with error handling and transaction validation. Deploying across multiple environments involved Docker configuration challenges and network latency issues on AWS. Balancing speed, scalability, and security throughout the build proved both demanding and rewarding.
