Software architecture diagram examples
A few connections.
A clearer system.
Three small systems you can take apart and make your own. Each curated example includes an interactive component map, a connection template, and a guide to its assumptions.
SaaS architecture
Follow a web request through an API, a cache, and a database.

See how an orchestrator, model, tools, and memory work together.

Separate document ingestion from retrieval and answer generation.

A software architecture diagram shows the main parts of a system and how they connect. Use the SaaS example for a web request, the agent example for model and tool responsibilities, or the RAG example to separate ingestion from retrieval.
These are curated learning examples, not scans of real customer systems. Copy the connections, change the components you need, and review each relationship. You can browse and download the templates even when workspace generation is unavailable.
From a template to your own system
- Choose one question the diagram should answer.
- Replace the sample components with your own names and boundaries.
- Check every connection against your implementation or design intent.
- Use the template in an available workspace or with the original Archify skill.
- Share a reviewed version with its assumptions and scope.
