VERSIONCV · SYSTEM DESIGN

System Architecture

A distributed, serverless decomposition of the VersionCV ecosystem. Detailed service roles and infrastructure components are mapped directly within each block.

View Interactive Pipelines(HLD overview below)

Client & Delivery

Web Delivery

Global delivery of the VersionCV web application.

Design Rationale

"Static assets and UI are served from the edge to minimize latency and reduce backend load."

Infrastructure Components
  • Cloudflare CDN / Proxy
  • Vercel Hosting
  • HTTPS Termination
  • Static Asset Delivery

Authentication & Security

Identity & Access

Authentication, authorization, and session control.

Design Rationale

"Identity is validated at the edge to prevent unauthorized requests from reaching business logic."

Infrastructure Components
  • Firebase OAuth
  • JWT Validation
  • Session Management

Request Protection

Abuse prevention and request sanitization.

Design Rationale

"Early rejection of malicious traffic keeps the system cheap, safe, and predictable."

Infrastructure Components
  • Cloudflare WAF
  • DDoS Protection
  • Rate Limiting
  • CSP & XSS Protection

Core Backend

Business Logic (Proprietary)

VersionCV’s core resume optimization intelligence.

Design Rationale

"This layer encodes domain knowledge and deterministic rules that differentiate VersionCV."

Infrastructure Components
  • Resume Ingestion & Normalization
  • ATS Scanner & Scoring Engine
  • JD Matching Engine
  • AI Optimization Orchestration
  • Plausible Skills Finder

Supporting Services

Shared platform capabilities.

Design Rationale

"Cross-cutting services are isolated so business logic remains focused and maintainable."

Infrastructure Components
  • Notifications
  • Analytics
  • Custom Error Logging
  • Tracing & Debugging

Async Processing

Background Jobs & Queues

Non-blocking and long-running tasks.

Design Rationale

"Heavy work runs asynchronously to keep user interactions fast and operational costs low."

Infrastructure Components
  • Producer / Consumer Queues
  • Job Aggregator
  • Retry & Backoff
  • Batch Workers

Data & State

Persistent Storage

Durable system state and metadata.

Design Rationale

"Storage is optimized for cost and access patterns rather than over-engineering."

Infrastructure Components
  • Cloudflare D1 (SQLite)
  • KV Cache
  • R2 Object Storage
  • Logs & Metrics Storage
