System Architecture
A comprehensive overview of our scalable, secure, and high-performance application architecture designed for modern web applications.
Architecture Overview
Our architecture follows a modern microservices approach with clear separation of concerns, enabling scalability, maintainability, and independent deployment of components. Built on cloud-native principles, the system leverages containerization, serverless functions, and distributed data stores.
Horizontally scalable components for handling variable loads
Event-driven communication between services
Comprehensive security layers at every level
