Project Overview

The project is an e-commerce progressive web application based on the Magento platform. Initially the whole application was built on Magento, recently the front-end part was redesigned and re-written with React/Next.js.

The docker-compose.yml will stand up Redis, MariaDB/MySQL, PHP 8.3 and all the configuration needed for Magento 2.4. From there the repository (Gitlab) will provide the files that our site runs off.

The sample database is an actual copy of our production DB with all PII data removed (customers, orders, etc, etc), but contains an accurate dump of all our products, configurations, etc.

There are no stored procs or queries that should be needed, Magento runs off an ORM and all DB calls should be handled through that ORM.

Most of our development is handled locally via Docker containers.
