Documentation as Code for Cloud Using PlantUML
Here's three interesting Rust projects that use plantuml
You can embed plantuml and drawio diagrams in Rust doc comments and have it rendered in the docs, using this crate
https://crates.io/crates/rsdoc
And you can generate plantuml from SQL tables using
https://crates.io/crates/sqlant (this one is a rust port of a go tool, https://github.com/achiku/planter)
And you can embed plantuml in mdbook
https://crates.io/crates/mdbook-plantuml

TIL: about Entity Relationship Schemas
You also have PlantUML. There exists an SQL generator for MySQL - not tested - and this utility for generating PlantUML ERD from PostgreSQL tables. This tool is more focussed on communication and allows you to draw large diagrams. However, you loose the sync between the diagram and the code base. You have the official PlantUML on-line drawer.

Plant UML – open-source UML Tool
I use Plant UML in combination with planter [1] to auto-generate a DB schema during CI runs.
Recently I see a lot general statements on HN like "UML is dead" which I think is not the case. Especially in complex, data-heavy projects it's a great way to visualize how things work -- if kept up-to-date and precise.

Ask HN: Guidelines for making clear architecture diagrams
As far as guidelines, I have spent time looking as well an never came away with a good answer. One useful website for comparing some of the best tools is https://text-to-diagram.com/. My personal favorite is D2. Still lacking a few layout features that I want, but it gets me 90% of the way there. The syntax is great for projects big to small, and it strikes the perfect balance between "create a diagram fast" and "feature rich". But in terms of actual guidelines, I would agree with another user that C4 actually tries to lay out some sort of guidelines.

Mermaid Cheat Sheet
I think Mermaid is better than PlantUML to write something quickly.
But D2 looks very promising. I like the simpler and more intuitive syntax.

The truth is, being a sysadmin can be a thankless job. What is something that you have done that your are proud of? AKA Toot your own horn Tuesday.
have you seen https://text-to-diagram.com/ for comparing these flowcharts including mermaidJS and graphwiz as you mentioned and there are a few more there.

Generate diagrams programmatically with D2
Yes, it's a limited generator, because it's like 20 lines long and not the point of the article.
If you want to compare Mermaid against D2, take a look at https://text-to-diagram.com. The maintainers of Mermaid have contributed to it.
