Here is a diagram illustrating the basic architecture:
-```mermaid
-graph TD
- subgraph "Management & Configuration (Control Plane)"
- Admin[Admin User] --> AdminUI[Admin UI / Dashboard]
- AdminUI --> AdminAPI[Admin API]
- AdminAPI --> Etcd[(etcd)]
- end
-
- subgraph "Request Path (Data Plane)"
- Client[Client App] --> AISIX[AISIX AI Gateway]
- AISIX --> Auth{Authentication}
- Auth --> ModelV{Model Validation}
- ModelV --> RateLimit{Rate Limiting}
- RateLimit --> Proxy[Proxy to Upstream]
- end

+**Components:**
+
+| Component | Plane | Role |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Client App** | — | Sends requests to the AISIX Proxy API (port 3000) |
+| **AISIX Gateway** | Data Plane | Stateless Rust proxy that processes requests through a hook pipeline |
+| **etcd** | Control Plane | Stores API keys, models, and rate limit config; watched by the gateway for hot-reload |
+| **Admin API** | Control Plane | REST API for managing configuration in etcd (port 3001) |
+| **Admin UI** | Control Plane | Optional React dashboard and chat playground backed by the Admin API |
+| **Upstream Providers** | — | OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, and Anthropic |
+
+**Request Flow (Data Plane):**
+
+```text
+Client -> AISIX Gateway -> [Auth] -> [Model Validation] -> [Rate Limit] -> Upstream Provider
+```
+
+**Config Flows (Control Plane):**
+
+```text
+# Manage configuration via Admin UI:
+Admin User -> Admin UI -> Admin API -> etcd <-- AISIX Gateway(watch etcd for changes)
+
+# Manage configuration via Admin API:
+Admin User ------------------------> Admin API -> etcd <-- AISIX Gateway(watch etcd for changes)
```
+

This decoupled design ensures that the Data Plane continues to operate with its last known configuration even if the Control Plane is temporarily unavailable, guaranteeing uninterrupted service.
