Reference Architectures
Diagrams worth a thousand words — and a thousand decisions.
Annotated system diagrams for common and uncommon architectural patterns: microservices topologies, edge deployments, AI pipelines, data infrastructure, and more. Each diagram is designed to be a practical starting point, not an idealised abstraction.
RAG Pipeline — Production Architecture
End-to-end reference architecture for a Retrieval-Augmented Generation system: ingest, embed, index, query, and rerank stages.
Edge-First API Architecture
Reference topology for deploying API logic at the network edge using Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects, with origin fallback.
Event-Driven Microservices — Reference Architecture
A canonical reference diagram for event-driven microservices with a message broker, event store, and multiple consumers. Includes Kafka topology layers.
