"How to connect" is nearly as important as those three parts. This is one holistic architecture.
Frankly, I tend to think that true understanding of some well-known architectures only comes with experience in creation some architectures, perhaps not so universal and application-specific. However, I cannot insist that this view should be common. I think this article explains this architecture clearly enough (see also the referenced articles):

If you think you would need some better explanation, perhaps you need to explain why do you feel that some
Quick Answer written specially for you should explain the matter better than thoroughly written articles. Or, rather, you would need to ask some other question, more specific, addressing some of your particular concerns. In that case, it would be better to pay more effort, try some experimental application development and explain to us
what have you tried so far.
Good luck.
