In today's era of rapid information development, both start-ups and large multinational companies cannot do without the support of complex and efficient information systems. These systems are like precision-operated machines, and architecture diagrams are the blueprints for designing and maintaining these machines. This article will explain architecture diagrams from the perspectives of their concepts, functions, drawing methods, and application cases.

The product architecture diagram is a diagram used by product managers to express their product design mechanisms. It implements product functions into an information-based, modular, and clearly layered visual architecture, and uses different layers of interactive relationships, combinations of functional modules, data and The flow of information is used to convey the business process, business model and design ideas of the product. It is one of the indispensable documents when designing complex products.

The architecture diagram graphically displays the components of the architecture and the relationships between them, providing an intuitive and comprehensive view of the system. Common architecture diagrams include business architecture diagrams, product architecture diagrams, functional architecture diagrams, technical architecture diagrams, data architecture diagrams, deployment architecture diagrams, etc., which can help different roles (such as developers, operation and maintenance personnel, product managers, etc.) understand and analyze the system from different perspectives. This article will explain in detail the types of architecture diagrams and how to use ProcessOn to draw a clear architecture diagram.

The concept of data middle platform was first proposed by Alibaba. Its purpose is to turn dormant data of enterprises into data assets, thereby realizing the system and mechanism of data value realization. This article will start from ProcessOn mind map and flow chart, and explain what is data middle platform, the value of data middle platform, and the necessary capabilities of data middle platform, combined with some high-quality data middle platform architecture diagram templates.
