E-commerce Backend
Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap
In short
A backend for an online store — products, cart, orders, inventory and checkout — one of the most résumé-relevant, feature-rich backend projects you can build.
How to learn this
- 1Model inventory correctly so overselling out-of-stock items isn't possible under concurrent orders.
- 2Implement the full order lifecycle: cart → checkout → payment → fulfillment.
- 3Add an admin API for managing products and viewing orders.
