Architecture diagram

Main layers	Types	What logic goes here?
HTTP logic layer	Routes + Controllers	Routes: Handle the HTTP requests that hits the API and route them to appropriate controller(s). Contollers: Take request object, pull out data from request, validate, then send to service(s).
	GraphQL	Handle the HTTP request that hits the API by POST and pull out data from request, validate, then send to service(s).
Business logic layer	Services + Repositories	Services: Contains the business logic, derived from business and technical requirements, as well as how we access our repositories or external services. Repositories: Handle the connection to the database and provides the information needed by the service.
