Using Templates

Rekhic includes a curated catalog of pre-built architecture blueprints representing industry-standard production topologies.

1. Browsing the Blueprint Catalog

Navigate to Templates in the main navigation or visit /templates.

The catalog features patterns organized by technical category:

• Cloud & Infrastructure: Modern SaaS, Production AWS, Multi-Region High Availability.
• Backend Architecture: Microservices Platform, Event-Driven Architecture, API Gateway.
• Security & Data: Authentication & Identity Provider integration, Data Platform Lakehouse, Payment Processing.
• DevOps & Delivery: CI/CD Pipelines, Observability & Distributed Tracing.

2. Instantiating a Template

1. In the Templates catalog, browse or search for your desired pattern.
2. Toggle between Grid View and List View using the layout switcher.
3. Click on any template card (e.g. Modern SaaS Architecture).
4. Rekhic immediately initializes a fresh canvas workspace pre-populated with all components, vector icons, and smart orthogonal connectors.

3. Customizing Your Blueprint

Templates are designed as starting scaffolds, not static templates:

• Add or delete microservices to match your exact team boundaries.
• Swap out databases (e.g. replacing MySQL with DynamoDB).
• Run Auto Layout if you add new tiers.
• Export to Markdown Documentation.
