Architecture - global view

Would this type of architecture overview be useful to the documentation ?

Potentially might be handy explaining some things but it would probably be better as separate diagrams including the different combinations and lines of communication.

You've also missed the API out as well as click and open tracking.

Thanks for your answer! Could you be more specific about the separate diagrams ? Which "different combinations" are you referring to ?

now that Postal is dockerised, any part of Postal can exist wherever you want it, as long as they always reach the same database and queue you could easily have multiple servers involved, achieving any levels of redundancy that you want.

I'm relatively sure that the SMTP and workers should always be together but everything else can be easily anywhere.
