The Payment Service is a crucial component of our system that handles all payment-related operations. It processes payments, manages transactions, and communicates with other services through events. Using an event-driven architecture, it ensures that all actions are asynchronous, decoupled, and scalable.
Key Components
- Payment API: Exposes endpoints for initiating payments and querying payment status.
- Payment Processor: Handles the core payment processing logic.
- Event Bus: Manages the communication between services using events.
- Payment Gateway: Interfaces with external payment providers.
- Transaction Service: Manages transaction records and states.
- Notification Service: Sends notifications related to payment status changes.
- Database: Stores transaction data and payment status.
