Development of NodeJS based Backend System with Multiple Storefronts for Batik Online Store

Abstract

Inibatikita is an online clothing store company which sells its products through multiple online stores, each of which is associated with a partner influencer. Currently, there exist no ecommerce solution which can accommodate this business process. This research aims to develop a system which facilitates this business process while addressing scalability for up to 50000 users. After the requirements are gathered, a system analysis is performed to compare existing ecommerce solutions with a custom solution. Post analysis, system design takes place and is swiftly followed by development and testing; finishing with deployment of the system. The results of system analysis indicate that existing ecommerce solutions aren't able to accommodate a multiple store approach, while a custom NodeJS solution is capable of doing so. Development and testing then proves that a NodeJS solution is able to fulfill the business process while accommodating 50000 users through indexing and caching. The results show that a custom NodeJS solution addresses the business requirements and scalability of inibatikita, when existing solutions could not.
