This commit introduces a complete documentation system for Casper's Kitchens:

Documentation Structure:

  • docs/README.md - Documentation hub with navigation and overview
  • docs/technical-reference.md - Detailed schemas, APIs, and configurations
  • docs/developer-onboarding.md - Step-by-step guide for new developers
  • docs/dataflow-diagram.md - Visual architecture documentation
  • docs/mermaid-image-generation.md - Guide for diagram generation

Architecture Visualization:

  • docs/dataflow-diagram.mermaid - Source Mermaid diagram definition
  • docs/images/dataflow-diagram.png - Standard resolution diagram
  • docs/images/dataflow-diagram-hd.png - High-resolution diagram (2400x1800)
  • docs/images/dataflow-diagram.svg - Scalable vector format
  • docs/generate-diagrams.sh - Automation script for diagram generation

Main README Enhancements:

  • Added technology badges (Python, PySpark, Databricks, etc.)
  • Added prominent link to comprehensive documentation
  • Improved visual structure with badges and separators

Technical Reference Content:

  • Complete table schemas for Bronze/Silver/Gold layers
  • Event type definitions and lifecycle tracking
  • API endpoint specifications with request/response examples
  • Configuration parameters and performance optimization details
  • Streaming watermark and partitioning strategies

Developer Onboarding Content:

  • Architecture overview and key concepts walkthrough
  • Essential files explanation with code examples
  • Common development tasks and patterns
  • SQL queries for monitoring and debugging
  • Troubleshooting guide for common issues

Dataflow Diagram Features:

  • Complete visual representation of the data architecture
  • Shows event sources through to applications layer
  • Includes medallion architecture (Bronze → Silver → Gold)
  • Visualizes streaming intelligence and ML components
  • Documents Lakebase integration and application layer
  • Available in multiple formats for different use cases

Benefits:

  • Reduces onboarding time for new developers
  • Provides quick reference for technical specifications
  • Visual documentation for presentations and design discussions
  • Comprehensive SQL examples for operations and monitoring
  • Clear architectural patterns and data flow understanding

@nkarpovdb added a data flow diagram and added documentation. Prompted and guided the cursor at appropriate .py and .pynp files to create some docs. See if that makes sense to add it.
