EShop
eShop is a .NET microservices reference application that provides a comprehensive blueprint for a distributed retail system. It implements an e-commerce architecture using decoupled services to manage core operations such as product catalogs, shopping baskets, and order processing.
The project demonstrates a cloud-native retail infrastructure that incorporates an asynchronous event bus system to synchronize state across distributed services. It includes a reference implementation for integrating generative AI features by connecting the store to large language models via cloud providers.
The system covers broad capability areas including identity and access management, secure third-party payment processing, and cloud-native container orchestration. Quality assurance is addressed through component functional testing and automated end-to-end browser tests.
Deployment and maintenance are supported via cloud deployment orchestration tools and automated build pipelines.
