Multi-Tenancy Strategy

Database-per-tenant approach for maximum security:

  • Complete data isolation (GDPR compliant)
  • Independent backups per tenant
  • Easy migration to dedicated infrastructure
  • Enhanced security for enterprise clients

πŸ› οΈ Technology Stack

Backend

  • Framework: Laravel 11.x
  • Database: PostgreSQL 16 with pgvector extension
  • Cache/Queues: Redis
  • Queue Monitoring: Laravel Horizon
  • Authentication: Laravel Sanctum
  • Multi-tenancy: stancl/tenancy
  • Billing: Laravel Cashier (Stripe)

AI/ML

  • Development: Ollama with Llama 3.1 / DeepSeek-Coder
  • Production: OpenAI API, Anthropic Claude (BYOK support)
  • Embeddings: Sentence Transformers
  • Vector Search: pgvector
  • Document Processing: PyPDF2, python-docx

Frontend

  • Framework: Vue 3 with Composition API
  • Language: TypeScript
  • State Management: Pinia
  • Routing: Vue Router
  • Build Tool: Vite
  • UI Framework: Tailwind CSS
  • Charts: ApexCharts / Chart.js
  • Real-time: WebSockets (Laravel Reverb)

DevOps

  • Containerization: Docker + Docker Compose
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions
  • Error Tracking: Sentry
  • Deployment: Laravel Forge / Railway

Testing

  • Backend: Pest PHP (unit + feature tests)
  • Frontend: Vitest + Vue Test Utils
  • E2E: Cypress / Playwright

Execution Sync (Actual Implemented Scope)

As of February 13, 2026, the codebase currently includes:

  • Laravel API foundation with Sanctum auth (register, login, me, logout)
  • Multi-tenancy wiring with stancl/tenancy and tenant provisioning endpoint
  • Central vs tenant migration split (database/migrations and database/migrations/tenant)
  • Tenant readiness endpoint after onboarding
  • Tenant seeders for baseline categories and suppliers
  • Tenant CRUD APIs for categories, suppliers, and products
  • Product filtering by search, category_id, supplier_id, and status
  • Delete guards for categories/suppliers linked to products
  • Feature test suite for auth, onboarding/readiness, categories, suppliers, products
  • GitHub Actions CI workflow that runs tests on push/PR

Current API (v1)

Central API:

  • POST /api/v1/auth/register
  • POST /api/v1/auth/login
  • GET /api/v1/auth/me
  • POST /api/v1/auth/logout
  • POST /api/v1/tenants
  • GET /api/v1/tenants/{tenant}/readiness

Tenant API (tenant domain, authenticated):

  • GET|POST|PUT|PATCH|DELETE /api/v1/categories...
  • GET|POST|PUT|PATCH|DELETE /api/v1/suppliers...
  • GET|POST|PUT|PATCH|DELETE /api/v1/products...

πŸ€– AI Features

AI Shopping Assistant

Capabilities:

  • Natural Language Product Search: "show me gaming motherboards under 500 shekels"
  • PC Build Recommendations: Suggests complete builds based on budget and use case
  • Compatibility Validation: Automatically checks CPU/Motherboard socket, RAM type, PSU wattage
  • Part Alternatives: Suggests cheaper or better alternatives when products are out of stock
  • Customer Intent Recognition: Understands if customer wants gaming, workstation, or budget build
  • Multi-turn Conversations: Remembers build preferences throughout conversation
  • Price Comparison: Compares prices across different brands/models

Technical Implementation:

// Example: AI-powered product recommendation
$pcBuilderService = app(PCBuilderService::class);

$recommendations = $pcBuilderService->suggestBuild([
    'budget' => 5000, // ILS
    'purpose' => 'gaming',
    'preferences' => [
        'brand_preference' => ['AMD', 'NVIDIA'],
        'rgb_lighting' => true,
        'future_upgrade' => true
    ]
]);

// Returns compatible components with compatibility score

Compatibility Checker AI

Capabilities:

  • CPU/Motherboard Socket Matching: Validates socket compatibility (AM5, LGA1700, etc.)
  • RAM Compatibility: Checks DDR4/DDR5, speed, capacity limits
  • PSU Wattage Calculation: Calculates total power draw + 20% headroom
  • Case/Motherboard Form Factor: Validates ATX, mATX, ITX compatibility
  • Cooling Clearance: Checks CPU cooler height vs case clearance
  • M.2 Slot Availability: Matches storage to available M.2 slots
  • BIOS Update Detection: Warns if motherboard needs BIOS update for CPU

Technical Implementation:

// Example: Compatibility validation
$compatibilityService = app(CompatibilityService::class);

$result = $compatibilityService->validateBuild([
    'cpu' => Product::find($cpuId),
    'motherboard' => Product::find($moboId),
    'ram' => Product::find($ramId),
    'gpu' => Product::find($gpuId),
    'psu' => Product::find($psuId),
    'case' => Product::find($caseId),
]);

// Returns:
// {
//   "compatible": false,
//   "issues": [
//     {
//       "severity": "critical",
//       "component": "PSU",
//       "message": "550W PSU insufficient. System requires ~620W. Recommend 750W.",
//       "suggestion_ids": [123, 456] // Alternative PSU products
//     }
//   ]
// }

Sales Analytics AI

Capabilities:

  • Inventory Forecasting: Predicts when to reorder based on sales velocity
  • Customer Segmentation: Identifies gamers, professionals, budget buyers
  • Bundle Recommendations: Suggests product bundles that frequently sell together
  • Dead Stock Identification: Flags products not selling, suggests discounts

Technical Implementation:

// Example: Sales trend analysis
$analyticsService = app(AnalyticsService::class);

$insights = $analyticsService->analyzeSalesTrends([
    'period' => 'last_30_days',
    'category' => 'GPU',
    'include_predictions' => true
]);

// Returns:
// {
//   "trends": [
//     {
//       "product_id": 789,
//       "product_name": "RTX 4060 Ti",
