Architecture Documentation

# System Architecture

## Overview

This system follows a microservices architecture...

## Components

### API Gateway
- Routes requests to appropriate services
- Handles authentication
- Rate limiting

### User Service
- User CRUD operations
- Authentication
- Profile management

### Order Service
- Order processing
- Inventory management
- Payment integration

## Data Flow

\`\`\`
Client → API Gateway → [Auth] → Service → Database
                    ↓
                  Cache
\`\`\`

## Technology Stack

- **Backend**: Node.js + TypeScript
- **Database**: PostgreSQL
- **Cache**: Redis
- **Queue**: RabbitMQ

Writing Guidelines

1. Clarity: Use simple, direct language
2. Examples: Include code examples
3. Structure: Use headings and lists
4. Completeness: Cover all public APIs
5. Maintenance: Keep docs in sync with code

"Code tells you how, comments tell you why, documentation tells you what."
