Commodity System Design Of Cross-border E-commerce Platform

Cross-border e-commerce is a concrete manifestation of “Internet + foreign trade”,which is conducive to improving people's material standard of living.It is also the key to promoting China's industrial transformation and upgrading.As a carrier of cross-border e-commerce,the e-commerce platform has effectively promoted the health of economic and social development.Among them,product data plays a very important role in the e-commerce platform.The commodity system serves as the core part of the e-commerce platform,and the front-end product data comes from the commodity system.In addition,other systems such as the promotion system and the order system need to read data from the commodity system.Its performance relates to the practical application efficiency of the entire e-commerce platform.Therefore,a good commodity system will greatly optimize the performance of the e-commerce platform and ensure the the efficiency and reliability of it.In view of the low efficiency of the mixed management of the base library and the commodity library,a way to split out the basic commodity library from the commodity library and independently managing the basic commodity library was proposed,and the basic commodity was associated with the merchant commodity to improve the efficiency of the commodity system.For the external interface is weak in scalability,and can not be compatible with the old interface.We proposed a modified protocol to support dynamic field expansion and compatible with the old interface,so that we can improve the scalability of the interface.The main function of the commodity system is divided into five major functional modules,namely attribute management,category management,commodity classification management,basic commodity management,and sales commodity management.Operators can manage the attributes and categories of commodities in a unified manner,and also can scientifically and effectively manage commodity category.In this way,we can implement hierarchical classification of commodities management,and do comprehensive management of sales commodities.The commodity system closely focuses on commodity data and its business,which can effectively ensure the smooth of commodity trading process.Among them,the focus is on the design of sales merchandise,and on the characteristics of sales merchandise management,its functions are divided into different parts.And in this way,its functions can be fully realized.The cross-border e-commerce platform must deal with large-scale users and must support massive data processing.The performance and stability of each system is the key.Therefore,in the process of designing the core module of the e-commerce platform,which means the commodity system,we should consider high concurrency and high availability of it.In order to improve performance and reliability,the load balancer should be accessed to avoid single point of failure and improve throughput;using Nginx as a high performance proxy server;As for storage,MySQL and Redis are used.And Redis is used to increase read performance of front-end;using Kafka to do asynchronous processing for some services,so that the timeliness of the system's main business processing is not affected by related businesses;And system monitoring is introduced to monitor all components and services.In this way,the stability of the entire system can be improved.On the basis of realizing the functions of each module of the commodity system,functional tests are performed on each module of it,and corresponding test cases are written.The test results verify whether the functional modules are complete and correct,and then the entire commodity system is tested for performance.If the system performance is good enough,it can cope with high concurrency needs.Finally,the article summarizes the design and development of commodity system,and also points out the direction of further improvement of it.
