Deprecated ‐ 5. Social Commerce Service ‐ Project Structure - Wiz-DevTech/prettygirllz GitHub Wiki

Here's a well-organized project structure for your Social Commerce Service (MongoDB + Java/Maven), following industry best practices:

Key Structure Decisions:

1. Module Separation:

   • Clear separation between Chat, Feed, and Moderation
   • Shared components in common/

2. Test Organization:

   • Mirrors main structure 1:1
   • Dedicated test resources folder

3. Configuration:

   • Environment-specific property files
   • MongoDB initialization scripts

4. Documentation:

   • Architecture decisions recorded
   • API specifications in Markdown

5. DevOps Ready:

   • CI/CD workflows
   • Docker support out of the box
   • Utility scripts for operations

Recommended Development Workflow:

1. Start with common/ module for shared components
2. Implement chat/ module first (core functionality)
3. Build feed/ with dependency on chat
4. Add moderation/ last (depends on both)
5. Keep integration tests in sync with each module

This structure scales well for:

• Adding new features (e.g., notifications module)
• Microservice migration (each top-level module can become a service)
• Team collaboration (clear ownership boundaries)
