A clean architecture layers diagram showing the four concentric layers: Entities (domain), Use Cases (application), Interface Adapters (controllers, presenters, repositories), and Frameworks & Drivers (web server, database, cloud SDK). This template models Uncle Bob's Clean Architecture with the dependency rule where inner layers never depend on outer layers, ensuring the domain model remains pure and framework-independent. Essential reference for software architects enforcing architectural boundaries.
Domain-Driven Design Bounded Contexts Architecture
Architecture
A DDD bounded contexts architecture diagram with Order, Customer, Shipping, and Billing contexts connected through an anti-corruption layer, shared kernel, and context map defining integration relationships. This template visualizes the strategic DDD patterns for decomposing complex domains into autonomous bounded contexts that communicate through well-defined integration events. Critical for architects applying Domain-Driven Design to large-scale enterprise systems.
API Composition Pattern Architecture
Architecture
An API composition architecture diagram with a composer service that fans out parallel requests to multiple microservices, collects responses with timeout handling, and merges results into a single unified response with partial fallback support. This template models the API composition pattern used when a single client query requires data from multiple services, avoiding the need for direct service-to-service calls. Useful for teams building aggregation layers in microservices architectures.
Outbox Pattern for Reliable Messaging Architecture
Architecture
A transactional outbox architecture diagram where domain writes and event publishing happen in the same database transaction, with a relay process polling the outbox table and publishing events to a message broker with guaranteed delivery. This template solves the dual-write problem where updating a database and publishing an event are not atomic, ensuring exactly-once event delivery without distributed transactions. Critical for event-driven architectures requiring reliable message publishing.
Ambassador Pattern Architecture
Architecture
An ambassador pattern architecture diagram with a local proxy sidecar handling authentication header injection, circuit breaking, retry logic, and metrics collection for outbound requests to external third-party APIs. This template models the ambassador pattern where a helper service running alongside the application offloads cross-cutting concerns for external communication. Useful for teams integrating with unreliable third-party services that need resilience wrappers.
GraphQL Federation Architecture
Architecture
A GraphQL federation architecture diagram with an Apollo Gateway building query plans and fanning out to User, Product, and Review subgraphs, each owning its schema and database, with response stitching into a unified GraphQL result. This template models the federated GraphQL approach where multiple teams independently develop and deploy their subgraphs while clients see a single unified API. Ideal for organizations scaling GraphQL across multiple teams and services.
Zero Trust Security Architecture
Architecture
A zero trust security architecture diagram with device posture checks, MFA identity verification, risk-based policy decisions, short-lived JWT tokens, micro-segmentation, mTLS encryption, least-privilege access enforcement, and continuous monitoring. This template models the 'never trust, always verify' security paradigm where every request is authenticated and authorized regardless of network location. Essential for security architects implementing modern zero-trust frameworks in cloud-native environments.
Multi-Tenant SaaS Architecture
Architecture
A multi-tenant SaaS architecture diagram with tenant identification, tier-based routing (shared vs dedicated pools), row-level security, per-tenant encryption keys, and isolated backup strategies for standard and enterprise isolation models. This template models the architecture decisions for building SaaS platforms that serve multiple customers from shared infrastructure while maintaining strict data isolation. Critical for SaaS architects balancing cost efficiency with enterprise security requirements.
Kubernetes Container Orchestration Architecture
Architecture
A Kubernetes container orchestration architecture diagram showing the control plane (API Server, etcd, Scheduler, Controller Manager), worker nodes (Kubelet, container runtime, kube-proxy, pods), networking layer (Ingress, Network Policy, Service Mesh), and persistent storage with CSI drivers. This template provides a comprehensive view of the Kubernetes architecture stack from control plane to storage layer. Foundational reference for DevOps engineers and platform teams managing Kubernetes clusters.
Data Mesh Architecture
Architecture
A data mesh architecture diagram with domain-oriented data ownership across Sales, Marketing, and Finance domains, each exposing self-serve data products through APIs with quality SLAs, governed by a federated data platform with a shared catalog and cross-domain query engine. This template models the paradigm shift from centralized data teams to domain-owned data products, applying microservices principles to data architecture. Essential for organizations scaling data operations beyond centralized data warehouse bottlenecks.
Cell-Based Architecture
Architecture
A cell-based architecture diagram with geographic routing to independent, self-contained cells (US-East, EU-West), each with its own gateway, compute, database, cache, and message queue, plus shared services for cross-cell replication and global configuration. This template models the cell architecture pattern used by hyperscale systems to achieve blast radius isolation, where failures in one cell cannot affect users in another. Key for architects designing systems that require extreme availability and fault isolation.
Observability Three Pillars Architecture
Architecture
An observability architecture diagram implementing the three pillars (metrics, traces, logs) with OpenTelemetry SDK instrumentation, OTLP collector pipeline, Prometheus, Jaeger, and Loki backends, Grafana dashboards, SLO/SLI tracking, and PagerDuty alerting integration. This template provides a complete observability stack reference showing how telemetry data flows from application instrumentation through collection, storage, visualization, and incident response. Essential for SRE teams building production monitoring infrastructure.
GitOps Deployment Architecture
Architecture
A GitOps deployment architecture diagram with developer Git workflow, CI/CD pipeline building and pushing container images, ArgoCD or Flux detecting Git manifest changes, drift detection, automatic cluster synchronization, and rolling update deployment to Kubernetes. This template models the GitOps paradigm where Git is the single source of truth for both application code and infrastructure state, enabling declarative, auditable, and reproducible deployments. Critical for teams adopting GitOps practices for Kubernetes deployments.
AI-Native Single Agent Architecture
Architecture
A single-agent AI architecture where one agent handles everything: parsing requests, reasoning, calling tools via MCP, and generating responses. This is the default architecture for prototypes and simple automations—easy to debug but hits context-window limits quickly and is hard to parallelize. Ideal for MVPs and solo builders shipping fast.
AI-Native Sequential Pipeline Architecture
Architecture
A sequential pipeline architecture chaining multiple agents in a fixed order (parse → enrich → analyze → format), which is a common 'LLM microservices' setup when each step can be isolated. This structure is often used in document processing and ETL-like workflows because each step is testable and predictable.
AI-Native Orchestrator-Worker Architecture
Architecture
An orchestrator-worker architecture where an orchestrator agent breaks a goal into subtasks, dispatches to specialized workers, then synthesizes a final response. This is the most common 'agent orchestration' architecture—powerful but the orchestrator can become a bottleneck as the number of workers grows. Frameworks like LangGraph focus on explicit routing/state to manage this.
AI-Native Hierarchical Architecture
Architecture
A hierarchical multi-agent architecture that scales orchestration by stacking supervisors and team leads (a tree structure), which mirrors enterprise org structures and helps partition context. This is the 'enterprise-grade agentic AI architecture' when a single orchestrator cannot manage all workers directly. Ideal for large enterprises and multi-domain workflows.
AI-Native Parallel Fan-Out Architecture
Architecture
A parallel fan-out architecture that runs multiple agents simultaneously on independent checks (style, security, performance) and then merges results. This is a standard multi-agent design approach for throughput, mapping cleanly to CI/CD, incident response, and research. Fan-in reconciliation becomes the subtle part.
AI-Native Event-Driven Kafka Architecture
Architecture
An event-driven agentic AI architecture that replaces the central orchestrator with Kafka/PubSub topics: agents subscribe, react, and publish new events. This aligns multi-agent systems with proven microservices choreography and is ideal for real-time, high-throughput systems and 'agent mesh' setups.
AI-Native Generator-Critic Architecture
Architecture
A competitive / generator-critic architecture where multiple generators produce independent answers, then an evaluator agent scores and selects the best output. This approach improves quality and reduces single-model brittleness. It's costlier (multiple LLM calls) but pays off when correctness or creativity matters more than latency.
Event-Driven Notification Hub Architecture
Architecture
An event-driven notification hub architecture diagram with multi-source event ingestion, template-based message rendering, user preference routing across email (SendGrid/SES), push (FCM), SMS (Twilio), and Slack channels, with delivery tracking and retry mechanisms. This template models a centralized notification system that decouples business services from delivery infrastructure, supporting multi-channel communication with user-controlled preferences. Ideal for platform teams building scalable notification infrastructure.
