Fulfill buy-02 audit checklist

[adrian-lui]

We need to improve the existing buy-01 project to buy-02.

The plan is that backend will provide all the Orders and Products info in json format from the API, and frontend will handle the search, filter, and user profile functionality. Bonus features will not be done because we want to finish quick! :)

@maximihajlov will handle backend java spring app and database requirements

• buy-02 backend #38

1. Update database with new tables and fields
2. Add Orders microservice

@adrian-lui will handle frontend app requirement

• buy-02 frontend #39

1. Add new feature to make product order for users
2. Add new feature to user/seller profile section
3. Add Search/filter feature to product listing page

Other issues:

• buy-02 CI/CD checklist #40

1. Ensure best practices in collaborative development process with PRs and reviews.
2. Use CI/CD pipeline to automatically build, test, and deploy PRs (with Jenkins or GH, TBC)
3. Utilize SonarQube to ensure code quality and adherence to best practices.
4. Proper documentation of the new features.
5. Ensure unit testing in both frontend and backend

Acceptance criteria: Check all checkboxes above, and fulfill buy-02 audit checklist below.

Functional

• Verify that the necessary tables, fields, relations are added.
