Ecommerce API - ScyllaDB & FastAPI sample application

This is a sample ecommerce application built with ScyllaDB and FastAPI.

Prerequisites

Get started

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/zseta/shopping-cart
cd shopping-cart

Create database schema

Connect to your ScyllaDB Cloud cluster using CQLSH and create the schema:

cqlsh -u scylla -p <YOUR_PASSWORD> -f schema.cql xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.clusters.scylla.cloud

Set up API server

Create a new virtual environment:

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate

Install Python requirements (FastAPI with Uvicorn server and ScyllaDB driver):

pip install fastapi "uvicorn[standard]" scylla-driver requests

Modify config.py to match your database credentials:

HOST="node-0.aws-us-east-1.xxxx.clusters.scylla.cloud"
USER="scylla"
PASSWORD="xxxxxx"
DATACENTER="AWS_US_EAST_1"
KEYSPACE="ecommerce"

Run the server:

uvicorn main:app --reload

Visit API docs: http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs

fast api docs

Generate sample data

Insert products to the database:

cqlsh <ip_address>
COPY ecommerce.product (id, img, name, price) FROM 'product.csv' with HEADER = TRUE;

Generate user interactions (adding products to cart, checkout):

  1. Run the API server:
    uvicorn main:app
    
  2. Run the python script:
    python generate_requests.py

Change Data Capture (CDC)

Change Data Capture (CDC) is a ScyllaDB feature that records every change (insert, update, delete) that happens in your table. CDC provides real-time and historical insights into user behavior, product performance, and activity.

Here are some example CDC queries that can be useful for an ecommerce application:

How many times do users add more than 2 of the same product to the cart?

SELECT count(*) 
FROM ecommerce.cart_items_scylla_cdc_log 
WHERE "cdc$operation"= 2 AND product_quantity > 2
ALLOW FILTERING;

How many carts contain a particular product?

FROM ecommerce.cart_items_scylla_cdc_log
WHERE "cdc$operation"= 2 AND product_id = dc87a43f-53b2-48a2-9003-2654345b6647
ALLOW FILTERING;

Notice how in both cases we put "cdc$operation"= 2 in the where clause. This is because if the operation is 2 that means it was an INSERT operation. Learn more about ScyllaDB CDC.
