1. User is a generic entity which can be either admin or customer
2. item is an item which can be added to the inventory , customer can add these items into cart. This is also alternatively referred as original_item in the codebase.

Complete application is dockerized and docker-compose can be used to run the application. Environment variables can be configured in config/.env file. config/env.sample provided for reference. TO simply run the application with default config, you can run the following command. Application would be available at http:https://localhost:9999

cd docker && docker compose up

unit tests are also dockerized and can be run using the following command

cd docker_test && docker compose up

1. swagger documentation is available at swagger docs when you run the application.
2. postman documentation with example requests(success, failure , validation , etc) is also provided at postman docs

1. admin and customer can be normalized into separate table and user can be a generic entity which can be either admin or customer.
2. item can be normalized into separate tables category and item.
3. signup api can be made more secure right now it is open api and anyone can signup as admin or customer.
4. logout api can be implemented to invalidate the jwt token.
5. redis to improve the performance of the application.
6. pagination for inventory and cart list apis.
7. adding cart currently adds item to cart and removes it from inventory (this is done to create item out of stock scenarios), this can be improved by having a cart checkout workflow where we would remove items from inventory only at the time of cart checkout.
8. e2e testing over rest apis can be added to test the application end to end.
