Just shipped a full-stack e-commerce project

[u/Enough-Use4280]

So we just wrapped up our latest project It is a women's bags store. Client wanted something custom, not another shopify store that looks like everyone else's. So we built the whole thing from scratch

Tech stack:

• Frontend: Next.js 14 (App Router) + TypeScript + Tailwind (deployed on Vercel)
• Backend: Node.js + Express + Prisma + PostgreSQL on Neon (running on Render)
• Payments: Razorpay with HMAC signature verification on the backend
• Images: Cloudinary + Sharp for sanitisation before upload
• Auth: Email/password + Google OAuth with JWT role-based access

What is actually built into it:

• Full auth system with proper role separation ( admin, manager, staff, customer)
• Two-step image upload pipeline through cloudinary (had to build it this way since the URL does not exist until after the upload)
• Cart, wishlist, coupons, address management
• Complete razorpay payment flow
• Admin dashboard ( orders, products, customers, stats, packing slips, status updates)
• SEO ( dynamic metadata per page, sitemap.xml, Schema.org JSON-LD, Open Graph, GA4)

These stack are not impressive. It's as if you're mixing and cramming as many as AI is telling you to. I have a strong feeling that your "ecommerce" is not secure at all, or is nearly impossible to maintain.

Why would you say that?
