Sahibinden Clone – Classifieds & Marketplace Platform

Version : 1.0.13

clonesahibinden is a scalable classified ads platform where users can register, list items across multiple categories such as vehicles, real estate, goods, and jobs, interact via messaging, and manage their listings with support for premium ad features and role-based moderation. The platform offers advanced category management, powerful search and filtering, and a comprehensive admin and moderation dashboard.

How to Use Project Documents

The Clonesahibinden project has been designed and generated using Mindbricks, a powerful microservice-based backend generation platform. All documentation is automatically produced by the Mindbricks Genesis Engine, based on the high-level architectural patterns defined by the user or inferred by AI.

This documentation set is intended for both AI agents and human developers—including frontend and backend engineers—who need precise and structured information about how to interact with the backend services of this project. Each document reflects the live architecture of the system, providing a reliable reference for API consumption, data models, authentication flows, and business logic.

By following this documentation, developers can seamlessly integrate with the backend, while AI agents can use it to reason about the service structure, make accurate decisions, or even generate compatible client-side code.

Accessing Project Services

Each service generated by Mindbricks is exposed via a dedicated REST API endpoint. Every service documentation set includes the base URL of that service along with the specific API paths for each available route.

Before consuming any API, developers or agents must understand the service URL structure and environment-specific endpoints.

Service Endpoint Structure

Environment	URL Pattern Example
Preview	`https://clonesahibinden.prw.mindbricks.com/auth-api`
Staging	`https://clonesahibinden-stage.mindbricks.co/auth-api`
Production	`https://clonesahibinden.mindbricks.co/auth-api`

Replace auth with the actual service name as lower case (e.g., order-api, bff-service, customermanagement-api etc.).

Environment Usage Notes

Preview APIs become accessible after a project is previewed inside the Mindbricks platform. These are ideal for development and testing.
Staging and Production APIs are only accessible after the project is deployed to cloud environments provisioned via Mindbricks.
In some cases, the project owner may choose to deploy services on their own infrastructure. In such scenarios, the service base URLs will be custom and should be communicated manually by the project owner to developers or AI agents.

Frontend applications should be designed to easily switch between environments, allowing dynamic endpoint targeting for Preview, Staging, and Production.

Getting Started: Use the Auth Service First

Before interacting with other services in the Clonesahibinden project, AI agents and developers should begin by integrating with the Auth Service.

Mindbricks automatically generates a dedicated authentication microservice based on the project’s authentication definitions provided by the architect. This service provides the essential user and access management foundation for the project.

Agents should first utilize the Auth Service to:

Register and authenticate users (login)
Manage users, roles, and permissions
Handle user groups (if defined)
Support multi-tenancy logic (if configured)
Perform Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC), if activated by the architect

Auth Service Documentation

Use the following resources to understand and integrate the Auth Service:

REST API Guide – ideal for frontend and direct HTTP usage
Auth REST API Guide
Event Guide – helpful for event-driven or cross-service integrations
Auth Event Guide
Service Design Document – overall structure, patterns, and logic
Auth Service Design

Note: For most frontend use cases, the REST API Guide will be the primary source. The Event Guide and Service Design documents are especially useful when integrating with other backend microservices or building systems that interact with the auth service indirectly.

Using the BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) Service

In Mindbricks, all backend services are designed with an advanced CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) architecture. Within this architecture, business services are responsible for managing their respective domains and ensuring the accuracy and freshness of domain data.

The BFF service complements these business services by providing a read-only aggregation and query layer tailored specifically for frontend and client-side applications.

Key Principles of the BFF Service

Elasticsearch Replicas for Fast Queries:
Each data object managed by a business service is automatically replicated as an Elasticsearch index, making it accessible for fast, frontend-oriented queries through the BFF.
Cross-Service Data Aggregation:
The BFF offers an aggregation layer capable of combining data across multiple services, enabling complex filters, searches, and unified views of related data.
Read-Only by Design:
The BFF service is strictly read-only. All create, update, or delete operations must be performed through the relevant business services, or via event-driven sagas if designed.

Event Guide – syncing strategies across replicas

Tip: Use the BFF service as the main entry point for all frontend data queries. It simplifies access, reduces round-trips, and ensures that data is shaped appropriately for the UI layer.

Business Services Overview

The Sahibinden Clone – Classifieds & Marketplace Platform project consists of multiple business services, each responsible for managing a specific domain within the system. These services expose their own REST APIs and documentation sets, and are accessible based on the environment (Preview, Staging, Production).

Usage Guidance

Business services are primarily designed to:

Handle the state and operations of domain data
Offer Create, Update, Delete operations over owned entities
Serve direct data queries (get, list) for their own objects when needed

For advanced query needs across multiple services or aggregated views, prefer using the BFF service.
