Velora — Full-Stack E-Commerce Platform
A production-ready full-stack e-commerce platform encompassing approximately 40,000–45,000 lines of hand-written code.
Overview
Velora is a comprehensive full-stack e-commerce application developed over the course of a year. It features a modular Next.js frontend built with a feature-based folder structure to streamline code maintenance across 7 core domains. The backend is powered by Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, utilizing a reusable BaseService query abstraction that eliminates redundant code across 12 distinct backend services.
Problem, Approach, Outcome
Scaling the codebase to 296 files and 115 folders required strict architectural discipline. This was solved by implementing a clear separation of concerns: a domain-focused frontend and a decoupled BaseService repository layer on the backend. Security was reinforced via custom JWT extraction and role-based access control (RBAC) middleware to protect sensitive endpoints for both the customer marketplace and the dedicated seller panel.
“Today’s Velora consists of 296 files, 115 folders, and approximately 40,000–45,000 lines of hand-written code.”
Next steps include integrating Stripe payments, adding advanced filtering and search, implementing caching for faster API responses, and further expanding the seller dashboards for product and order management.
