Generate an architecture diagram: mobile app connects to a GraphQL API, which uses Redis for caching and PostgreSQL for persistence. A background worker processes jobs from a Redis queue.
Tips
- Include infrastructure boundaries like VPCs, regions, or Kubernetes clusters for clarity
- Regenerate the diagram as your architecture evolves instead of manually updating
