# Instagram Clone

![Main Workflow](https://github.com/Archisman-Mridha/instagram-clone/actions/workflows/main.yaml/badge.svg)

Welcome to the `Instagram Clone` project, which aims to replicate the core functionalities of the popular social media platform, **Instagram**, while demonstrating :

> How to build and deploy fault tolerant distributed systems.

# Tech Stack

- `Rust` to write all the backend microservices (except the backend gateway microservice which is written in `GoLang`).

- [`Postgres`](https://postgresql.org) as the primary database.

- [`Meilisearch`](https://meilisearch.com) for implementing full text search feature.

- [`Redpanda`](https://redpanda.com) (a Kafka alternative) as the message broker | [`Debezium`](https://debezium.io) for implementing CDC (Change Data Capture).

- [`Vector`](https://vector.dev) for log ingestion | [`SigLens`](https://siglens.com) for centralized log, metric and trace collection.

- [`Docker`](https://docker.com) with `Docker Compose` to run everything in a development environment.

# Future Plans

- [ ] Write tests for the backend.
