Prompt

System architecture diagram for an event management system. Attendees register via a web/mobile app, organizers manage events in a dashboard, and on-site staff use a mobile check-in app with QR scanning. Core services should include registration, ticketing, session scheduling, and payments. Data storage includes PostgreSQL for transactions, Redis for cache, and Elasticsearch for attendee search. Use a message bus for email/SMS notifications and webhook integrations. Add OAuth2 authentication, rate limiting, and audit logging.

Key flows

Show all (3)
  • Registration flow: an attendee submits the form, Registration Service validates capacity, writes to PostgreSQL, and triggers confirmation messaging via Kafka.
  • Ticket flow: Ticketing Service issues a QR code, stores status in the database, and the check-in app validates it offline then syncs attendance.
  • Event ops flow: organizers update schedules, changes propagate to attendee apps, and analytics dashboards refresh via the search index.
