Backend System
Revo Banking
Tools & Tech Stack
Overview
Project Summary
RevoBank is a robust backend system designed to power digital banking operations. It provides a secure and scalable infrastructure for managing user identities, multiple bank accounts, and financial transactions. The project serves as the core engine for a banking ecosystem, ensuring data integrity and security for sensitive financial information.
The project aimed to develop a centralized banking API with high security and administrative control. Key goals included implementing role-based access control, automating database migrations, ensuring comprehensive API documentation through Swagger, and maintaining high code reliability through automated testing and validation of financial data.
I architected the system using NestJS and a modular design pattern, separating concerns into auth, users, accounts, and transactions. I implemented Prisma ORM for database management, integrated JWT-based authentication with role guards, and utilized class-validators for strict data integrity. Finally, I established an end-to-end testing suite to validate critical banking flows.
The deliverable is a fully functional RESTful API documented with Swagger UI. It features secure endpoints for user registration, multi-account management (savings/checking), and transaction processing. The system includes a seeded database with test data, comprehensive DTOs for type safety, and automated migration scripts for seamless deployment.
Methods
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Implementing custom decorators and guards to manage user permissions (Admin/User).
Data Transfer Objects (DTO): Utilizing class-validator and class-transformer for input validation and data sanitization.
E2E Testing: Developing scripts to simulate full user journeys from registration to transaction execution.
Database Seeding: Automating the creation of initial test data for consistent development environments.
