Introduction

In today's fast-paced digital world, efficient search capabilities are crucial for any online product shop. This repository investigates Elasticsearch, a powerful search engine that enables fast and scalable searches. Our goal is to showcase how Elasticsearch can enhance product discovery and improve user experience.

Technologies Used

This project leverages several technologies to create a robust environment:

• Docker: Containerization for consistent environments.
• Docker Compose: Simplifies multi-container applications.
• Elasticsearch: The core search engine for product data.
• Java: The primary programming language.
• Kotlin: A modern language for JVM development.
• PostgreSQL: A relational database for storing product data.
• Sharding: Techniques for distributing data across multiple nodes.
• Sharding JDBC: For managing sharding in a database.
• VM: Virtual machines for running applications.

Getting Started

To get started with the Online Product Shop, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PALAUZERA/online-product-shop.git
   cd online-product-shop

2. Install Docker and Docker Compose: Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine. You can find installation instructions on the official Docker website and Docker Compose documentation.

3. Set Up Environment: Create a .env file to configure your environment variables. Use the provided .env.example as a reference.

4. Build and Run the Application: Use Docker Compose to build and run the application:

   docker-compose up --build

5. Access the Application: Once the containers are up and running, access the application at http://localhost:8080.

Usage

Elasticsearch Integration

Elasticsearch provides a powerful search capability. Here’s how to interact with it:

1. Indexing Products: Use the provided API to index new products.
2. Searching Products: Implement search functionality to retrieve products based on user queries.
3. Sharding Configuration: Configure sharding to distribute product data across multiple nodes.

Sample API Endpoints

• Index Product: POST /api/products
• Search Products: GET /api/products/search?query={query}

Example Usage

To index a new product, send a POST request to /api/products with the product details in JSON format:

{
  "name": "Sample Product",
  "price": 29.99,
  "description": "This is a sample product."
}

To search for products, send a GET request to /api/products/search?query=sample.
