AuctionOasis: A Scalable Web-Based Platform For Real-Time Live Auctions

Auction systems have become increasingly popular as the uptake of e-commerce grows globally. However, conventional auction systems may be inflexible and unable to accommodate several bidders simultaneously. To address these issues, AuctionOasis provides a modular and comprehensive web platform that incorporates real-time bid processing, auction management, and secure participation of users. The platform is developed using Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, and EJS for front-end rendering.Further, the system is planned to implement the Socket.io technology for conducting group live bidding and chatting. This document discusses the motivation behind developing AuctionOasis, its architectural framework, design aspects, implementation process, and future directions.
