Cloud Architecture Diagrams

Cloud infrastructure powers the modern web — from event-driven serverless functions to globally distributed Kubernetes clusters. Understanding how these systems are designed helps developers and DevOps engineers build reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient platforms.

This collection covers the core patterns you encounter when architecting cloud systems. Start with compute primitives: Serverless Architecture shows how functions are invoked and scaled on demand, while Auto Scaling Workflow illustrates the feedback loop between metrics and instance provisioning. For container orchestration, the Kubernetes series covers Pod Lifecycle, Service Routing, Ingress Routing, and the Scheduler in detail.

Storage and data flow are represented by Cloud Storage Upload Flow and Object Storage Lifecycle. For platform concerns, explore Cloud IAM Permission Model for access control patterns, Cloud Secret Management for secure credential handling, and Infrastructure as Code Pipeline for declarative provisioning workflows. Observability diagrams — Cloud Logging Pipeline, Cloud Monitoring Pipeline, and Cloud Cost Monitoring Pipeline — close the operational loop. Every diagram opens directly in Graphlet for editing and export.
