Multilingual E-commerce Directus

Headless CMS & Content Management

• Powered by Directus, enabling SQL-first headless content management with full access to underlying schema.
• Custom roles and permissions implemented using Directus RBAC and PBAC for granular access control.
• Structured localization support through Directus i18n fields across all major content collections.
• Media translation support allows language-specific image and video associations within the CMS.
• Singleton collections are used for managing static content such as Contact Us, About, Terms, and Privacy Policy pages.
• These singleton contents are cached for performance but are also instantly updatable — changes in Directus are reflected in real time on the frontend.
• Collections are visually enhanced in the Directus admin panel using custom colors and icons for faster identification and better UX.

Backend Architecture & Data Modeling

• Relational data architecture built using Directus-native one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many relationships.
• Normalized schema design ensures scalable, maintainable backend logic with clean data separation.
• Custom Directus flows automate processes such as sending notifications, syncing content, and external API interactions.
• Directus webhooks enable real-time backend integrations with third-party services.
• Custom extensions and hooks add server-side logic for events like user creation and content moderation.

Infrastructure & Performance

• Deployment managed via Docker on a dedicated Google Cloud VM for full infrastructure control.
• Redis used for caching and rate-limiting actions such as password reset requests.
• Brevo integrated for email workflows like verification and recovery emails.
• Media assets stored in Cloudflare R2 and delivered globally via Bunny CDN.
