When to use it

Data platform proposals, big data coursework and tech talks. Data flows left to right through sources, ingestion, storage and compute, and serving; batch and streaming run in parallel into the warehouse.

Making it yours

  • Name the components: C1[Debezium], L[(Iceberg on S3)], R[Flink], BI[Metabase].
  • Expand the warehouse layers (raw, cleansed, aggregated) by splitting W into several chained nodes.
  • Add governance and scheduling (metadata, lineage, Airflow) as another group connected with dashed edges.
  • Ink Black suits dark slides; switch to Light or Indigo for a white document.

Ask an AI for one with this structure

Send the prompt below to ChatGPT or Claude, then paste the whole reply into the editor; the code inside is detected automatically.

Draw a data platform architecture diagram in Mermaid flowchart LR syntax with subgraph layers: Sources (application databases, application logs, third-party APIs), Ingestion (CDC replication, log collection, scheduled pulls), Storage and compute (data lake raw zone, batch processing, stream processing, data warehouse), Serving (data APIs, BI dashboards, model training). Each source goes through its ingestion method into the data lake, the lake feeds batch and stream processing into the warehouse, and the warehouse serves the three consumers. Use cylinder nodes for databases, the lake and the warehouse. Output only the mermaid code block.

FAQ

Is chaining edges different from writing them separately?

No. S1 --> C1 --> L is the same as two lines and makes a pipeline easier to read.

How do I control the order inside a group?

Unconnected nodes in a group follow declaration order; connected ones follow the edges. Declare "Batch processing" before "Stream processing" to put it on top.

The diagram is too wide for a slide

Change the first line to TB so data flows top to bottom, or export SVG and scale it in the slide without loss.
