Tech Stack

Backend Services:

Go 1.24 - High-performance microservices
gRPC - Inter-service communication with Protocol Buffers
GraphQL (gqlgen) - Unified API gateway

Data Layer:

PostgreSQL 14 - Account & Order transactional data
Elasticsearch 7.17 - Product catalog & full-text search
Redis (Future) - Caching & session management

Event Streaming:

Apache Kafka 7.5 - Event-driven architecture
3-broker cluster with replication factor 3
Topics: account.events, order.events, catalog.events

Infrastructure:

Kubernetes (EKS/GKE/AKS) - Container orchestration
Docker & Docker Compose - Local development
Helm (optional) - Chart-based deployments

Observability:

Prometheus - Metrics collection
Grafana - Dashboards
Loki + Promtail - Centralized logging
AlertManager - 60+ alert rules
Jaeger (optional) - Distributed tracing

CI/CD:

GitHub Actions - Build, test, scan
ArgoCD - GitOps continuous delivery
Trivy - Container security scanning

Performance

Throughput: 1M requests/sec sustained (tested with k6) Latency: p95 < 50ms, p99 < 100ms Availability: 99.9% SLA (3-nines) Database: PostgreSQL 10K writes/sec, Elasticsearch 50K reads/sec

GraphQL API Examples

Create Account:

mutation {
  createAccount(account: { name: "John Doe" }) {
    id
    name
  }
}

Create Product:

mutation {
  createProduct(product: {
    name: "iPhone 15 Pro"
    description: "Latest flagship"
    price: 1199.99
  }) {
    id
    name
    price
  }
}

Create Order:

mutation {
  createOrder(order: {
    accountId: "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
    products: [
      { productId: "789e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174111", quantity: 2 }
    ]
  }) {
    id
    totalPrice
    createdAt
  }
}

Event-Driven Architecture

Kafka Topics

Topic	Producer	Payload
account.events	Account Svc	`{ event_type, account_id, name, timestamp }`
order.events	Order Svc	`{ event_type, order_id, total_price, products, timestamp }`
catalog.events	Catalog Svc	`{ event_type, product_id, name, price, timestamp }`
order.created	Order Svc	`{ order_id, account_id, products[], timestamp }`
notifications	Multiple	`{ user_id, type, message, timestamp }`

Observability

Prometheus Metrics:

GraphQL: Request rate, latency (p50/p95/p99), error rate
gRPC Services: RPC calls, duration, status codes
PostgreSQL: Connections, transactions, replication lag, cache hit ratio
Elasticsearch: Cluster health, index rate, search rate, JVM heap
Kafka: Broker status, messages in/out, consumer lag, partition health

Critical Alerts:

Service down >2min
Error rate >5% for 5min
Database/Kafka broker offline
SLO breach (<99.5% availability)

Warning Alerts:

High latency (p95 >1s)
High CPU/memory (>80%)
Kafka consumer lag >1000
Database replication lag >30s

Security

JWT authentication (RS256)
Rate limiting (10 req/sec per IP)
Input validation & sanitization
SQL injection prevention (prepared statements)
Trivy container scanning in CI
Network policies in Kubernetes
Secrets management (Sealed Secrets / Vault)

Load Testing

# Install k6
brew install k6

# Run load test (1M RPS target)
k6 run --vus 1000 --duration 60s scripts/load-test.js

# Results: Avg 1.2M RPS, p95 45ms, p99 92ms, 0.01% error rate

Deployment

Kubernetes (Production):

# Deploy via ArgoCD
kubectl apply -f k8s/argocd/app.yaml

# Manual deployment
kubectl apply -k k8s/overlays/production

Docker Compose (Local):

docker-compose up -d
