The request
“Create a top-down e-commerce microservices flowchart: authenticate a user request, route authenticated requests through an API gateway, browse products through a catalog service and product database, or place an order through inventory, payment, confirmation, shipping, and completion. Route unauthenticated users to login, insufficient inventory to an out-of-stock notice and failed order, and failed payment to that same failed order.”
Then tryAdd a recommendation service after the product catalog.Change the payment failure path to a retry option.
