Layered Architecture of a Food Delivery Application
Drawing preview
The scenario

A food delivery platform needs a scalable layered architecture to handle user, restaurant, order, and delivery services. The architecture separates concerns across presentation, gateway, business logic, and data layers, while integrating external services for payments and mapping.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use an API Gateway to route client requests to appropriate microservices

02

Adopt separate databases per service for data isolation and independent scaling

03

Integrate with external payment and mapping providers via dedicated services

Ideal when designing a cloud-native multi-sided platform with mobile and web clients, requiring modular services and clear separation of concerns.
