Firebase Test Lab - Architecture Diagram

[bootstraponline]

It may be helpful to create a Plant UML diagram of the FTL concepts for gcloud and flank.

The goal is to understand the current FTL high level concepts. Then we can ensure Flank is implemented appropriately. This will help as FTL changes their API over time.

For example:

Flank is assuming that a matrix contains only a single execution for each device, which used to be true
#738

Maybe we could do the diagraming exercise as part of the upcoming Flank refactor.
#718

Example PlantUML diagrams

• metrics/web/docs/diagrams
• https://plantuml.com/

I think it'd make sense to diagram how gcloud CLI is working (based on info from the JSON API discovery JSON) and then diagram Flank.

• https://firebase.google.com/docs/test-lab/reference/testing/rest/v1/projects.testMatrices
• https://github.com/Flank/gcloud_cli

Both gcloud and Flank are lacking architecture diagrams.
