# airbnb-clone-project
- Part of the [Alx proDev: Backend Program](https://www.alxafrica.com/programme/prodev-backend/)
**1. Project Overview**
The Airbnb Clone Project is a comprehensive, real-world application designed to simulate the development of a robust booking platform like Airbnb. It involves a deep dive into full-stack development, focusing on backend systems, database design, API development, and application security. Provides a robusts and scalable foundation for mapping user interactions, property listings, bookings, and payments.
**2. Project Goals**
- **User Management**: Implement a secure system for user integration, authentication, and profile management.
- **Property Management**: Develop features for property listing creation, updates, and retrieval.
- **Booking System**: Create a booking mechanism for users to reserve properties and manage booking details.
- **Payment Processing**: Integrate a payment system to handle transactions and record booking details.
- **Review System**: Allow Users to leave reviews and listings for properties.
- **Data Optimization**: Ensure efficient data retrieval and storage through database optimizations.
**3. Technology Stack**
- **Django**: For building RESTful API.
- **Django REST Framework**: Provides tools for creating and managing RESTful APIs.
- **PostgreSQL**: Relational database for data storage.
- **GraphQL**: Handling asynchronous tasks such as sending notifications or processing payments.
- **Redis**: Caching and session management.
- **Docker**: Containerization tool for consistent development and deployment.
**4. Team Roles**
- **Backend Developer**: Implementing API endpoints, database schemas, and business logic.
- **Database Administrator**: Manages database design, indexing, and optimizations.
- **DevOps Engineer**: Deployment, monitoring, and scaling of backend services.
- **QA Engineer**: Ensures the backend functionalities are thorougly tested and meet quality standards.
**5. Database Design**
- **users**: Managing user registration, authentication and profile.
- **properties**: Property listings.
- **Bookings**: Booking records linking users and properties.
- **Payments**: Payment transactions for users.
- **Reviews**: user-generated reviews.
**6. Feature Breakdown:**
**User AUthentication:**
- Endpoints: /users/, /users/{user_id}
- Features: Register new users, authenticate, and manage user profiles.
**Property Management:**
- Endpoints: /properties/, /properties/{property_id}/
- Features: Create, update, retrieve, and delete property listings.
**Booking System**
- Endpoints: /bookings/, /bookings/{booking_id}
- Features: Make, update, and manage bookings, including check-in and check-out details.
**Payment Processing**
- Endpoints: /payments/
- Features: Handle payment transactions related to bookings.
**Review System**
- Endpoints: /reviews/, /reviews/{review_id}
- Features: Post and manage reviews for properties.
**API Security**
- OpenAPI Standard: The backend APIs are documented using the OpenAPI standard to secure clarity and ease of integration.
- Django REST Framework: provides a comprehensive RESTful API for handling CRUD operations on user and property data.
- GraphQL: Offers a flexible and efficient query mechanism for interacting with the backend.
**7. CI/CD Pipeline**
- Automated pipelines for testing and deploying code changes.
**8. Database Optimization**
- Indexing: Implement indexes for fast retrieval of frequently accessed data.
- Caching: Use caching strategies to reduce ddatabase load and improve performance.
**9. API Documentation**
- REST API: [Detailed documentation](https://restfulapi.net/)
- GraphQL API: For retrieving and manipulating data - [official documentation](https://graphql.org/learn/)
