🍲 Recipes at Scale (WIP)

Backend microservice architecture for a scalable recipe app — built with FastAPI, Keycloak (for auth), and PostgresFTS for search.

🚀 Project Goals

• Separate microservices for CRUD operations and search, using Traefik for routing.
• Handle authentication with Keycloak.
• Cache search responses with Redis.
• Full-text search using PostgresFTS eventually switch to Elasticsearch.
• Designed to scale individual components based on usage.

🧱 Architecture

This is a microservice-based application using Docker and Traefik for service routing.
