FoodFlux
A completely distributed microservices system demonstrating food delivery services and inter-service communication.
Overview
FoodFlux is a distributed food ordering platform built with microservices. It lets users browse restaurants, place orders, and track delivery status in real time. The system demonstrates event-driven architecture with Kafka, fault tolerance patterns, and WebSocket notifications across independent backend services.
What Does it Do?
- Browse restaurants and view menus as a customer
- Add items to cart and place food orders
- Receive real-time order tracking updates
- Manage restaurant orders and status views for kitchen staff
- Driver dashboard for accepting and updating delivery status
- Handle authentication and role-based access control
- Simulate fault tolerance using circuit breaker patterns
Why I Built this
- To learn and demonstrate distributed systems and microservices architecture
- To practice event-driven communication using Kafka and asynchronous patterns
- To explore real-time notifications and WebSockets in full-stack apps
- To implement fault tolerance and service resilience in a real-world use case
