Three-Tier Web Application Architecture Diagram

A three-tier architecture diagram separates a web application into presentation, logic, and data layers, making it easier to scale and maintain each independently. It's a foundational diagram for system design interviews and architecture documentation. Tip: show the cache layer explicitly since it often becomes a key performance bottleneck to discuss.

The prompt behind this diagram

Draw a three-tier web application architecture diagram with a Presentation Tier containing a Web Browser and a Frontend Server (React app), a Logic Tier containing an Application Server running business logic and a REST API layer, and a Data Tier containing a Primary Database and a Read Replica Database. Show request flow from the browser through a Load Balancer to the frontend server, then to the application server, and finally to the database tier, with a Cache Layer between the logic tier and data tier to speed up repeated queries.
