  • SQL Server

    SQL Server managed the database operations, providing efficient data storage, retrieval, and transaction processing. Its robust data management capabilities supported complex queries and real-time updates across the POS system.
  • RabbitMQ

    RabbitMQ was implemented for message queuing, enabling efficient communication between different system components. This ensured seamless integration and synchronization of data across various modules in real-time.
  • Redis

    Redis was used for caching frequently accessed data, improving the performance and speed of the POS system by reducing the load on the primary database and accelerating data retrieval.
