Bugatti Baby

The Project

Bugatti Baby is a premium luxury baby products brand requiring an e-commerce backend that matched the quality of its products. The challenge: high-value items with complex inventory, international shipping, and payment processing — all needing to be rock-solid.

The Solution

Built a full Django REST Framework backend with clean API design for the frontend storefront. The architecture handles the full order lifecycle: browsing, cart management, checkout, payment processing, fulfilment, and returns.

Technical Highlights

Payment Processing — Integrated Stripe with a robust webhook handler that processes payment events asynchronously. Failed payments are retried intelligently; all payment events are logged for audit trails.

Inventory Management — Redis-backed inventory reservation system prevents overselling during concurrent checkouts. Stock levels update in real-time across all product variants.

Performance — Heavily cached product catalogue (Redis) reduces database load during traffic spikes. Django’s ORM query optimization ensures sub-100ms API response times on all critical endpoints.

Infrastructure — Deployed on AWS (EC2 + RDS PostgreSQL + ElastiCache Redis) with Docker for consistent environments across staging and production.
