Zillow Imitation Project

Introduction

Welcome to the Zillow Imitation Project. This repository houses a Spring Cloud-based house rental application that closely imitates the functionalities and design of Zillow. This project serves as a practical exploration of microservices architecture using modern technologies like MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, and RabbitMQ.

Features

• Property Listings: Users can view a variety of rental properties, each detailed with photos, prices, and descriptions.
• Search Functionality: Robust search capabilities powered by Elasticsearch, allowing filters for location, price range, number of bedrooms, and more.
• User Accounts: Users can create accounts to save favorite listings and contact property managers directly.
• Admin Panel: A Vue.js and Vuetify-based dashboard for administrators to manage property listings.

Technologies Used

• Spring Boot: Simplifies the bootstrapping and development of new Spring applications.
• Spring Cloud: Facilitates building robust microservices using patterns like service discovery, configuration management, and routing.
• MongoDB: NoSQL database used for storing application data.
• Redis: In-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker.
• Elasticsearch: Search engine based on the Lucene library, perfect for powerful search functionalities.
• RabbitMQ: Advanced message queuing protocol used for handling service-to-service communication.
• Vue.js and Vuetify: Progressive JavaScript framework and material design component framework used for building the admin panel.
