Fitness app architecture: users log workouts in a mobile app, and health data syncs from Apple HealthKit, Google Fit and wearables. Services: workout logging, a plan engine that personalises weekly plans, challenges and leaderboards (Redis), and subscriptions through app store billing. Data in PostgreSQL, events to an analytics pipeline.
