+# Architecture
+
+This document describes the high-level architecture of PostgREST.
+
+## Bird's Eye View
+
+```haskell
+postgrest :: Request -> Either Error SQLStatement -> Response
+```
+
+On the highest level, PostgREST processes an HTTP request, if it's accepted it builds a SQL statement for it, executes it, and produces a response.
+
+## Code Map
+
+This section talks briefly about various important modules.
+
+The starting point of the program is `main/Main.hs`, which calls `src/PostgREST/CLI.hs` which then calls `src/PostgREST/App.hs`.
+
+`App.hs` is then in charge of composing the different modules.
+
+### ApiRequest.hs
+
+PostgREST operates over two types of resources: database relations(tables or views) and database functions; providing different representations(depending on the media type)
+for them.
+
+This module is in charge of representing the operation over an `ApiRequest` type. It parses the URL querystring following PostgREST syntax, the request headers, and the request body
+(if possible it avoids parsing the body and sends it directly to the db).
+
+A request might be rejected at this level if it's invalid, e.g. providing an unknown media type to PostgREST or using an unknown HTTP method.
+
+### Plan.hs
+
+Using the Schema Cache, this module enables more complex functionality(like resource embedding) by enriching the ApiRequest. It generates Plan types(`ReadPlan`, `MutatePlan`)
+that then will be used to generate a SQL statement.
+
+A request might be rejected at this level if it's invalid, e.g. by doing resource embedding on a nonexistent resource.
+
+An OPTIONS request doesn't require a plan to be generated.
+
+### Query.hs
+
+This module constructs single SQL statements that can be parametrized and prepared. Only at this stage a PostgreSQL connection from the pool is used.
+
+A query might fail(and be rollbacked) at this level if it doesn't comply to certain conditions, e.g. by not returning a single row when a ``Accept: application/vnd.pgrst.object`` header is specified.
+
+An OPTIONS request doesn't require a query to be executed.
+
+### Response.hs
+
+This module constructs the HTTP response body with the right headers.
+
+It builds the OpenAPI response using the schema cache.
+
+### Auth.hs
+
+This module provides functions to deal with JWT authorization.
+
+### Workers.hs
+
+This spawns threads which are used to execute concurrent jobs.
+
+Jobs include connection recovery, a listener for the PostgreSQL LISTEN command, and an admin server.
+
+### SchemaCache.hs
+
+This queries the PostgreSQL system catalogs and caches the metadata into a SchemaCache type,
+
+### AppState.hs
+
+The state of the App which is kept across requests.
