# Apify Reference Architecture
## Overview
Production-ready architecture patterns for applications built on Apify. Three patterns
scale from a single scraper to a full-stack integration:
1. **Standalone Actor** — one scraper deployed to the Apify platform.
2. **Multi-Actor Pipeline** — a discover → scrape → transform chain of Actors.
3. **Full-Stack Integration** — an application using Apify as a data source behind a service layer.
This skill helps you choose the right pattern, lay out the directory structure, and wire
the skeleton code. Full directory trees, diagrams, and code for every pattern live in
[references/architecture-patterns.md](references/architecture-patterns.md); the service
layer, configuration loader, and health check live in
