Concepts¶

Use this section to understand how Ravyn works before optimizing, scaling, or customizing behavior.

Why this section exists¶

Ravyn has many capabilities (routing, DI, middleware, permissions, settings, lifecycles). Without a conceptual model, teams often use these pieces correctly but inconsistently.

These pages define the shared mental model for:

• request execution flow
• system boundaries
• component responsibilities
• data and validation flow
