User Context

Overview

The User Context is designed as an independent microservice responsible for managing user profile data and related operations. It is designed to provide a clean separation between authentication credentials and user metadata, supporting flexibility and scalability as the system evolves.

Main Entities

• User: Represents the profile information of a user in the system.
  • ID: Unique identifier for the user. It should be used as the source of truth for all user-related operations in the system.
  • Name: The display name of the user.
  • Email: The user's email address (unique).

Components

The User Context is organized into the following components:

• Controller: Handles external requests and responses, validates input, and delegates to the service layer.
• User Service: Encapsulates business logic for user management, orchestrating operations across repository.
• User Repository: Abstracts persistence and retrieval of users from the database.
