operating scheme
- basic operation:
- Enter an architecture description such as "Client → API Gateway → AuthService → MySQL"
- Select the Diagram type to generate a diagram
- Copy the generated Mermaid code and embed it in a Markdown file (must contain the ``mermaid code block)
- Ongoing Maintenance Tips:
- Save the core architecture description as a separate text file
- To modify, simply update the description text to regenerate it
- Trace back version changes with the history feature
- Teamwork recommendations:
- Deploying shared services and setting access passwords
