Project Overview
The Payment System Integration project was aimed at creating a seamless, transparent, and secure billing solution for clients. The primary goal was to develop a payment system capable of tracking resource usage in real-time and billing clients accurately based on their consumption.
This system was designed to support various AWS services and integrate securely with the Braintree payment gateway by PayPal for processing payments directly via credit cards. The solution was built using a robust tech stack including AWS Lambda for backend microservices, MongoDB for data storage, and React for the frontend interface, ensuring a smooth user experience.
