  • Rollback strategy in case of deployment failure
  • Version Control:
    Document the version control strategy used to manage updates to the messaging system, including the repository, branch strategy, and update frequency.

7. Integration with Other Marketplace Systems

• User Profiles:
  Explain how the messaging system interacts with user profiles and accounts (e.g., linking each message to a specific buyer/seller).
• Notification System:
  Describe the integration with the notification system (e.g., in-app alerts, emails, push notifications) for informing users about new messages or updates.
• Transaction and Payment Integration:
  If applicable, outline how the messaging system integrates with transaction or payment systems to allow messaging related to order status, payment inquiries, or delivery.

8. Performance Optimization

• Message Load Handling:
