[Story]: Architecture Diagram

[sumiat]

Summary

Create an initial architecture diagram for the backend and frontend that will serve as a living document in the main repository.

This architecture diagram will allow:

• stakeholders to understand the overall system design at a glance
• the team to make complex concepts and relationships easier to understand
• the team to show the system dependencies, interfaces, and interactions which will allow stakeholders to evaluate impact of design choices, identify risks, make informed decisions regarding system modifications, scalability, and future enhancements.
• Use a tool that is version controlled, like mermaid.js
• We would need host diagram or application diagram

Examples of a good place to start for level of depth:
