Food Delivery App

Overview of My Submission

This is a very simple food delivery app. It allows to search for food and then order and delivery it to your home.

The idea behind this was to build an event-driven distributed system. It contains 5 microservices which communicates with each other via events (most of the time).

Apart from that I wanted to try to implement a simple event sourcing system in which all business events are stored as a sequence of state-changing events.

In this project all these concepts are covered with Redis.

But this is not everything! It also uses other Redis modules, e.g. RedisJSON and Redis Search to show how easy it's to build a reliable system with Redis.
