Integration of MVC-based Seller Management Page with RESTful API

krkarma777 opened this issue · comments

Description

We currently have a seller management system that is built on the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture. This system has been serving us well for managing seller data, transactions, and interactions. However, to enhance our system's scalability, flexibility, and ease of integration with other services, we have developed a RESTful API that abstracts the business logic and data access layers.

Objective

The goal is to integrate the existing MVC-based seller management page with the newly developed RESTful API. This integration aims to decouple the frontend from the backend, allowing for more agile development, easier maintenance, and the ability to scale our services more efficiently.

Challenges and Considerations

  • Data Consistency: Ensuring that the integration does not lead to data inconsistency between the MVC application and the RESTful API.
  • Authentication and Authorization: Implementing a secure method for authentication and authorization in the RESTful API, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive seller information.
  • UI/UX Compatibility: The current MVC design may have tightly integrated views and controllers. We need to ensure that transitioning to using the RESTful API for data retrieval and operations does not negatively impact the user experience.
  • Performance: Evaluating the performance implications of the integration and ensuring that the use of the RESTful API does not introduce significant latency or overhead.
  • Legacy Support: Providing support for existing functionalities and ensuring a smooth transition without disrupting the current operations for sellers.
