canarytokens VS Appwrite

Get a free OS in a VMand open any files in there. You should not trust a random batch of potentially backdoored or canarytoken'ed files

Throw some honeytokens/canarytokens on key systems. Thinkst has a free option where you can drop Word docs, PDF, AWS keys, etc. that will send you an email or webhook if they're ever used. https://canarytokens.org

You can generate Canarytokens for free on their website: https://www.canarytokens.org/generate. They're open-source, so if you're technically-inclined, you can run the software yourself: https://github.com/thinkst/canarytokens. All the documentation is here: https://docs.canarytokens.org/guide/.

I do not think a trap or "phishing link" is a good idea if she are getting serious threats! But it is not too hard, you can generate a few with here and if somebody opens the link you will get an email containing the time and IP address of who opened it: https://canarytokens.org (note that, you can not really do much with these information on your own).

Good tip, OP could use this for quick setup. https://canarytokens.org

Appwrite - for authenticating users, as well as saving and retrieving product details.

If you haven't tried Appwrite, make sure you give it a spin. It's a open source backend that packs authentication, databases, storage, serverless functions, and all kinds of utilities in a neat API. Appwrite can be self-hosted, or you can use Appwrite Cloud starting with a generous free plan.

What is Appwrite? Appwrite is an open-source backend server that abstracts the complexity of backend development, allowing developers to focus on building their applications. It provides a wide range of services including databases, storage, functions, and authentication, all designed to work seamlessly together.

Appwrite: Open-source backend server for web and mobile developers.

Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.
