Write a doc that explains all of the parts of Sentry

[chadwhitacre]

I've seen a few times recently where people have basically asked "What are all these moving parts? Do I really need them all?" Here's the latest example from @kanadaj:

do u think better docs on that would help?

Yeah, definitely, both on the exact role of the individual services (there is around 10 and I don't even know the exact data path for different kinds of stuff) [...]

We generally point people to the architecture diagram, but I think we could do better about connecting the dots between that and the docker-compose.yml.

Todo

• include mention of long-lived vs. short-lived (esp. geoipupdate) containers

That would be really nice +1 for that @dlouzan

This is a very nice initiative, it would maybe help us understand the issues we have on #783 🙇 Of course one can read the source code, but decent architecture and flow docs would probably go a long way.

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Accepted, I will leave it alone ... forever!
