I want to make diagrams like the ones on this page - https://www.google.com/amp/s/creately.com/blog/diagrams/aws-templates-for-architecture-diagrams/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/creately.com/blog/diagrams/aws-... - but I want to have a way to define them in a text format and version control and modify them easily.
I’ve tried doing this with PlantUML but never got it right. Is there a tool like PlantUML that is specifically for architecture diagrams like the ones above (custom icons, etc)?
- hcarvalhoalves 7y agoPlantUML allows you to create deployment diagrams, but this one from AWS is hand-drawn, it takes too many liberties with the layout.
- timmattison 7y agoYeah, I do all of these things by hand today as well. It is very time consuming especially when I want to make changes. I’d be willing to accept more constraints if that’s what I have to do but my current attempts with PlantUML can’t get close to the look I’d like even for simple diagrams unfortunately.
- m-p-3 7y agoNot sute if that would fit all your requirements, but I'm sharing just in case https://mermaidjs.github.io/ https://mermaidjs.github.io/
- timmattison 7y agoThanks, I looked at it a while go and had some trouble getting started. I'll try it again.
