⚙ Full Stack
A Python/Django GraphQL API backed by PostgreSQL, with Redis for caching and Celery for async tasks like order processing, emails, and webhooks.
📈 Scaling Analysis
The GraphQL API and Celery workers both scale horizontally independent of each other, and Postgres ACID guarantees matter for order/inventory correctness — the main scaling constraint at very high volume is Postgres write throughput for order processing, which typically needs read replicas and careful indexing.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Deploy the API pod, a Celery worker pod, Postgres, and Redis, all connected via <podName>.pod:<port>; webhook-driven integrations mean outbound network access must be allowed from the worker pod. Mirror.gcr.io covers the Python base image cleanly.
