# Architecture overview

The Seal Platform is composed of a small number of named components, accessed through several customer-facing interfaces (the CLI, the UI, the GitHub App, Slack, the Public API). This chapter covers what those components are, how they connect, and what data flows through them.

* [Components](/introduction/architecture/components.md): the named components.
* [How the pieces fit together](/introduction/architecture/how-pieces-fit-together.md): a single diagram of the most common data flows.
* [Where your data lives](/introduction/architecture/where-your-data-lives.md): what Seal sees in each package discovery mode and what it never sees.
