E-commerce Microservice Website Build

I’m setting up a new e-commerce platform and want it architected as a collection of microservices. The core service I need first is a rock-solid Product Catalog: searchable, filterable, and ready to scale as the inventory grows. That means designing its own database schema, APIs, and admin endpoints while keeping the door open for companion services such as user authentication and a payment gateway that I may plug in later.

Here’s how I picture the engagement:
• You define the microservice structure, select appropriate tech (Node.js, Spring Boot, or another framework you’re comfortable with), and spin up a clean, container-ready codebase.
• The Product Catalog must expose REST/GraphQL endpoints, handle basic CRUD plus bulk import/export, and support SKU-level attributes and images.
• Include automated tests and concise API documentation so other services can consume it without guesswork.
• Provide Docker files (or Kubernetes manifests if you prefer) and a brief deployment guide so I can launch it on AWS or any cloud of choice.

Hand-off deliverables: source code repo, documentation, and a quick walkthrough call or recording to make sure everything runs on my side. Once the catalog is rock solid, we can discuss adding checkout, payment integration, and authentication microservices, but for now the catalog is the priority.
