Description

The user microservice, developed using Nest.js, manages and provides membership operations within the platform. It supports fundamental membership procedures such as user registration, user validation, and profile management, utilizing MongoDB for data storage.

This microservice communicates with the api-gateway and other services via GRPC. Requests and data exchanges related to users are facilitated through this service.

Backend Technologies

• Nest.js: Employed for developing the microservice architecture.
• MongoDB: Utilized for database storage.
• TypeORM: Used as an ORM for database interactions.
• gRPC: Used for communication between microservices.
• i18next: Used for internationalization (i18n) support.
• class-validator: Used for validation within Nest.js.
• class-transformer: Used for object transformation within Nest.js.
• AWS S3: Utilized for managing and storing user avatars.
