Bug Bounty Platform

A microservices-based bug bounty platform built with Go, enabling secure bug reporting and bounty management.

Overview

This platform connects security researchers with organizations through a streamlined bug bounty process. Built using microservices architecture, it demonstrates modern Go development practices including gRPC communication, event-driven patterns, and secure payment handling.

Architecture

The platform consists of three core microservices:

• Auth Service - Handles user authentication, authorization, and profile management
• Bounty Service - Manages bug reports, bounty lifecycle, and claim processing
• Wallet Service - Processes payments, escrow management, and fund transfers

Tech Stack

• Backend: Go 1.21+
• API: gRPC and REST
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Cache: Redis
• Message Queue: RabbitMQ
• Containerization: Docker
• Deployment: Docker Compose (local) / Kubernetes (production)
