Serverless API

A serverless API architecture pattern using CloudBlocks.

Architecture Overview

Internet → Gateway (API Gateway)
              ↓
         Public Subnet
              ↓
         Compute (Function App / Container)
              ↓
         Private Subnet
           ↓        ↓
     Database    Storage
     (Managed)  (Queue / Blob)

Components

Layer	Category	Block Type	Subnet	Description
Entry	Edge	Gateway	Public	API Gateway / Function proxy
Logic	Compute	Compute	Public	Serverless functions / Container Apps
Data	Data	Database	Private	Managed database for structured data
Data	Data	Storage	Private	Queue storage for async processing

How to Build in CloudBlocks

1. Create a Region Plate (VNet)
2. Add Public and Private Subnet Plates
3. Place a Gateway block on the Public Subnet
4. Place a Compute block on the Public Subnet
5. Place Database and Storage blocks on the Private Subnet
6. Connect: Internet → Gateway → Compute → Database
7. Connect: Compute → Storage
8. Run Validate to confirm

Notes

• In a real serverless architecture, the VNet integration may vary
• This example demonstrates the logical data flow pattern
• Gateway represents the API management layer
