Interactive 3D WebGL E-Commerce & Inventory Platform

MiniShop 3D

MiniShop 3D bridges immersive 3D spatial graphics with enterprise e-commerce state management. It features a Three.js interactive product viewer, strategy-pattern checkout calculations (dynamic tax, volume discounts, shipping thresholds), state-pattern order status lifecycle (Pending -> Processing -> Shipped -> Delivered), and real-time stock alert observers.

System Architecture & Problem Statement

Core Problem Solved: Traditional 2D e-commerce stores fail to give buyers spatial confidence when purchasing complex products, while backend inventory tools often lack atomic state transitions, leading to stock overselling and manual order errors.

Architecture Layers:

1FastAPI Asynchronous Backend: Modular API routing layer split across auth, products, cart, checkout, and inventory log endpoints.

2Three.js WebGL Interactive Viewer: 3D orbital mesh viewport allowing 360° product inspection and dynamic material lighting.

3GoF Design Patterns Core: Observer pattern for stock alerts, Strategy pattern for discount & tax calculations, State pattern for order lifecycle, and Singleton pattern for inventory database managers.

4SQLite Persistence: Lightweight async database engine storing user sessions, token hashes, product catalogs, cart items, order history, and audit logs.

Engineering Challenges & Solutions

Challenge #1: Maintaining state consistency across complex checkout pipelines (discounts, tax, inventory lock) while keeping responses fast.

Challenge #2: Rendering 3D WebGL product models in React without affecting page load performance.

Key Lessons & Principles

Takeaway #1: Applying formal GoF Design Patterns (State, Strategy, Observer) keeps backend e-commerce architecture clean and predictable.

Takeaway #2: Hardware-accelerated 3D product previews boost user engagement and purchase confidence.
