(Each diagram should come with a description section, discussing the various considerations leading to the suggested design)
This deployment diagram will aid in ensuring a majority of the non-functional requirements will be met by ensuring security and privacy. Separating the user account details and the rest of the review storage data into two different databases will make it harder for SQL injection statements to be inserted in the search bar. At the current progress of the project, we are using JSON to replicate the MySQL databases until we reach a stage where we can implement the SQL.

The sequence diagram demonstrates how the website will behave with everyday user interactions that will be used on RevYou. The two separate databases can be shown in action with the sequence diagram demonstrating how they will work together on the website. The multi-stepped process of the upvote/ downvote calculation is displayed along with the reputation system.
