This commit adds two new documentation files:

  1. architecture.md - Comprehensive architecture documentation covering:

    • Architectural layers and organization
    • Detailed crate descriptions and responsibilities
    • Dependency hierarchy and relationships
    • Key architectural patterns (traits, builders, channels, etc.)
    • Core data flows (startup, xDS updates, request processing)
    • Important types and traits
    • Design decisions and rationale
  2. architecture-diagrams.md - Visual documentation with Mermaid diagrams:

    • Crate dependency graph
    • Architectural layers diagram
    • Application startup flow
    • xDS configuration update flow
    • Request processing flow
    • Access logging flow
    • Cluster selection & load balancing
    • Component interaction overview
    • Configuration channel architecture
    • Thread architecture

These documents provide developers with a complete understanding of the orion-kmesh workspace structure, how components interact, and the design principles behind the implementation.

Summary of Changes

Hello @dawid-nowak, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the project's documentation by introducing two new files that provide a deep dive into the Orion-Kmesh architecture. The goal is to offer both detailed textual explanations and clear visual representations to help developers quickly grasp the system's structure, how its components interact, and the underlying design principles.

Highlights

  • Comprehensive Architecture Documentation: A new architecture.md file has been added, detailing the Orion-Kmesh project's architectural layers, crate responsibilities, dependency hierarchy, key patterns, core data flows, important types/traits, and design decisions.
  • Visual Architecture Diagrams: A companion architecture-diagrams.md file introduces various Mermaid diagrams, visually representing crate dependencies, architectural layers, application startup, xDS configuration updates, request processing, access logging, cluster selection, component interactions, configuration channels, and thread architecture.

Code Review

This pull request adds extensive and valuable architecture documentation in architecture.md and architecture-diagrams.md. The documentation is well-structured and provides a great overview of the Orion-Kmesh architecture. I've found a couple of minor inaccuracies in architecture.md that should be corrected to ensure the documentation is perfectly aligned with the codebase. Overall, this is an excellent contribution that will be very helpful for developers.

The dependency matrix incorrectly indicates that orion-lib depends on orion-proxy. The dependency is the other way around: orion-proxy depends on orion-lib. The in the proxy column for the lib row should be changed to - to reflect this.

The definition of ListenerConfigurationChange in the "Key Enums" section appears to be inaccurate. Based on the usage in orion-proxy/src/proxy.rs, the variant for adding a listener is Added and it carries a payload of Box<(ListenerFactory, Listener)>. The documentation shows a variant AddOrUpdate(Listener), which is inconsistent in both name and payload type. Please update the documentation to accurately reflect the implementation.

Suggested change
pub enum ListenerConfigurationChange {
AddOrUpdate(Listener),
Remove(String)
}
pub enum ListenerConfigurationChange {
Added(Box<(ListenerFactory, Listener)>),
