I'm trying to make a high level visual of the architecture of a Ktor Application. Does this look accurate? At this point I'm not going into specifics about the phases, features, and engines, but is it safe to say this is an accurate picture of an entire application?

Not exactly. ApplicationResponse is being built during call processing, and then a separate pipeline (response pipeline) is executed with the engine to send a response.

The ApplicationCall also includes both the ApplicationRequest and the ApplicationResponse.

So I guess the arrow with ApplicationCall should be ApplicationRequest,

and maybe you can group somehow the ApplicationRequest and ApplicationResponse + context inside an ApplicationCall box or something.

And there are different pipelines for requests and responses. And the arrows might be misleading regarding to the execution order

After sharing this I did realize that, while in features you generally deal with the Call, that's just a container for the request, response and context, so replacing ApplicationCall with ApplicationRequest makes sense, I think.

Didn't realize there was a separate response pipeline. that's interesting.
