Let’s say you’re building an app where users can browse a list of nearby cafés, see their menus, operating hours, and even place orders for pickup. Sounds straightforward, right? But now imagine the owners want to adjust prices dynamically based on the time of day or demand, feature promotions, and track customer preferences.
How would you structure the backend to handle this?
Would you use a microservices architecture or stick to a monolithic model?
How would you scale it if demand spikes during weekends or holidays?
What kind of database structure would you use for tracking customer orders, feedback, and loyalty points?
How would you approach user authentication and admin access for café owners?
What frameworks would you reach for? Node.js? Django? Spring Boot?
There are a lot of moving parts here from data modeling to API design and it all has to run smoothly to keep both the customer and café owners happy.
Would love to hear how you’d break this down!
