Technical Highlights
The platform leverages modern web technologies to deliver exceptional performance:

include: { category: true },
orderBy: { createdAt: 'desc' }
})
return products
}Challenges Overcome
One of the main challenges was implementing real-time inventory updates across multiple concurrent users. We solved this by implementing optimistic UI updates combined with websocket connections for instant synchronization.
