Software architecture diagramming is a way of visually representing the high-level components of an application and the interactions between these components. This process can help identify areas to further optimize the design or functionality of the software. For example, a software architecture diagram may include components related to API authentication, request processing, and access to third-party information and transactions. In the following software architecture diagram, you can clearly see the user dashboard as well, which helps in providing additional details about the user. This overview is useful in order to understand how different components interact with each other and their attributes.
