# CartSnitch
**Grocery price intelligence — know what you're paying, every time.**
CartSnitch is a self-hosted grocery price intelligence platform that connects to your store loyalty accounts, tracks prices across retailers, monitors shrinkflation, and helps you find the best deals.
---
## Project Overview
CartSnitch solves the problem of **grocery price opacity**. Most shoppers don't know if they're getting a good deal, whether prices have spiked since their last visit, or if the "sale" is actually a worse price than a competitor. CartSnitch makes prices transparent.
**Core features:**
- Connect Meijer, Kroger, Target loyalty accounts
- View purchase history across all stores in one timeline
- Track per-item price charts across stores over time
- Receive shrinkflation and price increase alerts
- Browse active coupons and deals
- Generate optimized shopping lists with store-split plans
- Public price transparency dashboards
---
## Architecture
CartSnitch is a polyglot microservices platform. The monorepo contains the frontend PWA and core services.

---
## Tech Stack
### Frontend
- **React 18+** with TypeScript
- **Vite** — build tool
- **Tailwind CSS v4** — mobile-first responsive design
- **Workbox** — service worker, offline caching, PWA manifest
- **Recharts** — price trend visualizations
- **TanStack Query** — data fetching and caching
- **React Router v7** — client-side routing
- **Zustand** — lightweight state management
### Backend Services
- **Better-Auth** — authentication (session management, email/password, OAuth)
- **Node.js** (API Gateway)
- **Python/FastAPI** (API Gateway, ReceiptWitness)
- **PostgreSQL** via CloudNativePG
- **DragonflyDB** for caching
### Infrastructure
- **Kubernetes** (k3s-compatible)
- **Flux CD** — GitOps deployment
- **GitHub Actions** — CI/CD
- **CalVer** (`YYYY.MM.DD[.N]`) — image tagging
- **Bitnami Sealed Secrets** — secret management
- **Authentik** — OIDC/OAuth2 provider
---
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+
- npm or pnpm
- PostgreSQL (local or containerized)
- Docker (for running services locally)
### Local Development
1. **Clone the repo**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/cartsnitch/cartsnitch.git
cd cartsnitch
```
2. **Install dependencies**
```bash
npm install
```
3. **Set up environment variables**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your local settings
```
4. **Start the frontend dev server**
```bash
npm run dev
```
The PWA will be available at `http://localhost:5173`.
5. **Run tests**
```bash
npm test
```
6. **Build for production**
```bash
npm run build
```
### Running Backend Services Locally
The frontend PWA communicates with three backend services. For full local development, you'll need to run each service:
```bash
# Auth service (Better-Auth)
cd auth
npm install
npm run dev
# API Gateway (separate repo: cartsnitch/api)
# See api/README.md
# ReceiptWitness (separate repo: cartsnitch/receiptwitness)
# See receiptwitness/README.md
```
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `VITE_API_URL` | API Gateway base URL | `http://localhost:3000` |
| `VITE_AUTH_URL` | Auth service base URL | `http://localhost:3001` |
---
## Contributing
We welcome contributions. Please follow the workflow below.
### Branching Strategy
- Branch from `dev`
- Use prefix: `feature/`, `fix/`, `docs/`, `chore/`
- Examples: `feature/shopping-list-optimization`, `fix/price-chart-zoom`
### Commit Convention
We use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):
```
feat: add shopping list export
fix: correct price chart date formatting
docs: update API documentation
chore: update dependencies
```
### Pull Request Workflow
1. Open a PR against `dev`
2. CI must pass (lint, type check, tests, e2e)
3. QA reviews and approves
4. CTO merges to `dev`
5. Dev deploys automatically
6. CTO promotes `dev → uat`
7. UAT and security review
8. CEO merges `uat → main`
9. Production deploys automatically
**Never push directly to `main`, `dev`, or `uat`.**
### Code Standards
- ESLint for linting
- TypeScript strict mode
- Mobile-first responsive design
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)
---
## Testing
### Unit Tests
```bash
npm test
```
### E2E Tests (Playwright)
```bash
npm run test:e2e
```
Tests run headless by default. For headed mode:
```bash
npm run test:e2e:headed
```
### Lighthouse CI
Performance audits run automatically in CI. To run locally:
```bash
npm run build
npm run preview
# In another terminal:
npx lighthouse http://localhost:4173 --output=html --output-path=./report/lighthouse.html
```
---
## CI/CD Pipeline
All branches (`main`, `dev`, `uat`) run through GitHub Actions on every push.
### Pipeline Stages
| Job | Trigger | Purpose |
|-----|---------|---------|
| `lint` | Every push | ESLint + TypeScript type check |
| `test` | Every push | Unit tests via Vitest |
| `audit` | Every push | Security vulnerability scan |
| `e2e` | Every push | Playwright end-to-end tests |
| `lighthouse` | After test | Performance budget check |
| `build-and-push` | On push to main/dev/uat | Build and push Docker images to GHCR |
| `deploy-dev` | On push to dev or main | Update `cartsnitch/infra` → auto-deploy to dev |
| `deploy-uat` | On push to uat or main | Update `cartsnitch/infra` → auto-deploy to uat |
### Image Tagging
- **Production (`main`):** CalVer tag (`YYYY.MM.DD[.N]`) + `latest`
- **Development (`dev`):** SHA tag (`sha-<short-sha>`)
### Deployment Environments
| Environment | Namespace | URL | Trigger |
|-------------|-----------|-----|---------|
| Dev | `cartsnitch-dev` | `cartsnitch.dev.farh.net` | Push to `dev` branch |
| UAT | `cartsnitch-uat` | `cartsnitch.uat.farh.net` | Push to `uat` branch |
| Production | `cartsnitch` | `cartsnitch.farh.net` | Push to `main` branch |
---
## Deployment
### Infrastructure
The infrastructure repository ([cartsnitch/infra](https://github.com/cartsnitch/infra)) contains Kubernetes manifests and Flux Kustomize overlays.
### Flux GitOps Flow
1. CI builds and pushes a new Docker image
2. CI opens a PR to `cartsnitch/infra` updating the image tag
3. On merge, Flux reconciles the manifests and rolls out the new image
### Forcing a Rollout
To force pods to pick up a new `:latest` image:
```bash
kubectl rollout restart deployment/<name> -n <namespace>
```
### Secrets
Secrets are managed via **Bitnami Sealed Secrets**. No plain Kubernetes secrets are used.
