Diagrams teams actually build
Each example includes the opening prompt and follow-ups that show how AIDrawIO refines diagrams through conversation — not just one-shot generation.
AWS Serverless API
API Gateway → Lambda → DynamoDB with SQS, S3, and CloudWatch
“Draw a serverless REST API on AWS: API Gateway → Lambda → DynamoDB for writes, with SQS for async jobs, S3 for file storage, and CloudWatch for monitoring. Use official AWS component colors.”
Multi-Region Active-Active
AWS us-east-1 + eu-west-1 with Route 53, Aurora Global, and DynamoDB global tables
“Design a multi-region active-active architecture on AWS for a fintech app. Show us-east-1 and eu-west-1 with Route 53 latency routing, RDS Aurora Global, ElastiCache, and a shared DynamoDB global table for session state.”
OAuth2 Login Flow
Sequence diagram with token exchange, MFA, refresh rotation, and error states
“Create a sequence diagram for a user login flow with OAuth2 PKCE: browser → frontend → auth server → resource API. Include token exchange, access token validation, refresh token rotation, and what happens when the refresh token is expired.”
CI/CD Monorepo Pipeline
PR → lint/test → Docker build → staging → smoke test → canary prod deploy
“Draw the CI/CD pipeline for a monorepo: developer push → GitHub Actions → parallel lint/test/security scan → Docker build → push to ECR → Helm deploy to staging → smoke tests → manual approval gate → prod deploy with canary rollout.”
URL Shortener at Scale
100K writes/sec, 1M reads/sec — Snowflake IDs, Redis cache, Cassandra, CDN
“System design diagram for a URL shortener handling 100K writes/sec and 1M reads/sec: load balancers, write service, read service, ID generation (Snowflake), Redis cache, Cassandra for storage, and CDN for redirect responses.”
Marketplace Payment Flow
Buyer → fraud detection → Stripe → fund splitting → seller payout with T+1 settlement
“Draw the payment processing flow for a marketplace: buyer submits payment → API gateway → fraud detection service → payment processor (Stripe) → fund splitting between platform and seller → payout to seller bank account with T+1 settlement.”
Production ML Training Pipeline
S3 → Spark feature engineering → Feast → SageMaker → MLflow → A/B deployment
“Draw a production ML training pipeline: raw data in S3 → feature engineering (Spark on EMR) → feature store (Feast) → model training (SageMaker) → experiment tracking (MLflow) → model evaluation → model registry → A/B deployment with shadow mode.”
Customer Support Escalation
Chatbot → L1 → L2 → engineering ticket with SLA timers at each tier
“Map the customer support escalation flow for a SaaS product: user reports issue via chat → AI bot triage → L1 agent → L2 technical support → engineering ticket (Jira) → hotfix if critical. Include SLA timers and breach alerts at each tier.”
Zero-Trust Network
Device identity → Okta → policy engine → micro-segmented services with mTLS
“Draw a zero-trust network architecture: device identity verification → identity provider (Okta) → SIEM → policy engine → micro-segmented services. Show east-west traffic controls and the mTLS chain between services.”
Event-Sourced Order Management
Kafka-based saga with OrderService, InventoryService, PaymentService — failed payment compensation
“Design an event-sourced order management system: OrderService, InventoryService, PaymentService, NotificationService communicating via Kafka. Show the event types, consumer groups, and how the Saga pattern handles a failed payment.”
