🔹 Simple Architecture Diagram for Web Application 🔹
This image shows a clear overview of how users access a web system from their browser or mobile app and how the entire backend works behind the scenes.
✨ What’s happening in the diagram?
👥 Users
People access the system through a web browser or a mobile app.
🌐 DNS (Domain Name System)
When users visit app.demo.com, DNS translates the domain into the server’s IP address 172.16.254.254 so their device knows where to connect.
🖥 Web Tier
This is where the main application runs:
Server handles requests
Web App (JavaScript) processes logic
Cache (Redis) speeds up responses
📦 Data Tier
The Database stores all the important data such as users, posts, transactions, etc.
📡 Communication
The browser/app sends requests via HTTP, the web server processes them, fetches data, uses cache for performance, and returns results in HTML/JSON.
This simple 3-tier architecture (Client → Web Tier → Data Tier) is the foundation of most modern web & mobile applications today.
