Overview

The Inventory Service functions as a core backend component of our real estate platform, designed to manage and persist property listings. This service is pivotal in supporting the platform's dynamic features, including the creation and management of property listings, the sophisticated querying of these listings based on a multitude of attributes, efficient pagination of search results, and comprehensive management of user interests in various properties.

How It Works

  • Data Handling: Utilizing SQLAlchemy, the Inventory Service facilitates seamless interaction with the database. It handles all CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on property listings, ensuring data integrity and consistency across the platform.
  • Query Flexibility: The service is equipped with advanced querying capabilities that allow users to filter properties based on diverse criteria such as location, price range, number of bedrooms, and additional amenities. This functionality supports a tailored and user-centric browsing experience, enabling users to find properties that meet their specific needs and preferences.
  • Pagination of Results: To enhance user experience, especially when dealing with large sets of data, the service implements efficient pagination techniques. This ensures that users can navigate through search results smoothly and intuitively, accessing a manageable number of properties per page.
  • Interest Management: A robust feature of the Inventory Service is its ability to manage user interests. Users can declare or revoke their interest in specific properties through dedicated endpoints. This system not only tracks user preferences but also facilitates potential transaction opportunities by notifying property owners of interested parties.
