The goal of this project is to develop a price comparator capable of extracting product information from multiple e-commerce websites, storing the data in a database, and displaying it in a web interface. The interface will allow users to compare prices and access the product pages directly via clickable links.

Key Features: Data scraping with Scrapy: Extract product information (name, price, link, etc.) from 2–3 websites selling similar products.

Store data in a MySQL database: The database will run inside a Docker container.

Web interface to visualize the data: A web server will display the products, their prices, and highlight the website offering the lowest price. Products will be clickable, redirecting users to the product's page.

Docker-based architecture: A container for Scrapy. A container for MySQL. A container for Apache php Docker Compose to orchestrate containers: All services can be started using a single docker-compose.yml file.

Scrapy: For web scraping. MySQL: To store product information. Docker: To containerize all components. Docker Compose: To manage and orchestrate containers. php/HTML/CSS: For the user interface.
