AlgoByte DSA Platform Architecture

Akshat, Computer Science Student

A use case diagram for AlgoByte, a platform that helps students and professionals track their Data Structures and Algorithms preparation. Maps out the full set of user interactions — from registration and topic tracking to problem-solving and video content — within a single system boundary. Useful for project planning, stakeholder presentations, and onboarding developers to a new platform's scope.

How to create an AlgoByte DSA Platform Architecture

To create an algoByte DSA platform architecture, follow these steps:

01.
Define the system boundary
Draw a container labeled with your system name. Everything inside is in scope; everything outside is an external actor.
02.
Add the actor
Place the User outside the system boundary — they interact with the system but aren't part of it.
03.
Map user-facing functions
Inside the boundary, list every action the user can take: Register/Login, View Topics, Mark Completion, Solve Problems, Watch Videos, Track Progress.
04.
Show hierarchical flows
Connect actions that lead to sub-actions — View Topics → View Subtopics, Solve Problems → Click Problem Link.
05.
Keep it flat
Use case diagrams communicate scope, not implementation detail. Resist the urge to model every API call — that's a sequence diagram.
06.
Link to your live project
If the system exists, add the URL. It gives reviewers context and validates that the diagram reflects something real.
