> "Animated diagrams" are great for generating engagement on social media, but in practice an animated line doesn't tell you anything an arrow wouldn't.
Instead of showing a little green box moving from system A to system B, I could have shown static arrows alongside the link between system A to system B, or something similar.
I chose the moving green box as it represents the data flowing in the system, in a tangible / concrete manner.
It communicates:
- A data is created/produced/etc. at system A.
- The data is transferred/copied/moved/etc. to the system B.
- The data is received/consumed/etc. by the system B.
