✏️ Architecture

Trendlink follows the Clean Architecture principle with CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation). It separates concerns by structuring the project into different layers:

• Domain Layer: Core business logic and domain models.
• Application Layer: Handles commands and queries using MediatR and CQRS.
• Infrastructure Layer: Interacts with external systems like databases (PostgreSQL), caching (Redis), and external services (Keycloak).
• API Layer: Exposes RESTful endpoints for communication with the frontend.

Key components:

• CQRS: Used to separate read and write operations, ensuring scalability and clear separation of responsibilities.
• Docker & Docker Compose: Simplifies deployment and testing by containerizing the application.
