Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Documentation as Code for Cloud - C4 Model & Structurizr
Structurizr is used for describing and visualizing architecture using the C4 model. One of the main selling points is the fact you can define an entire (IT) architecture model using text. A typical model consists of:
-
Architecture diagrams enable better conversations
I've been using https://structurizr.com/ to automatically generate C4 diagrams from a model (rather than drawing them by hand). It works well with the approach for written documentation as proposed in https://arc42.org/. It's very easy to embed a C4 diagram into a markdown document.
The result is a set of documents and diagrams under version control that can be rendered using the structurizr documentation server (for interactive diagrams and indexed search).
I also use https://d2lang.com/ for declarative diagrams in addition to C4, e.g., sequence diagrams and https://adr.github.io/ for architectural decision records. These are also well integrated into structurizr.

Mastering Software Architecture Visualization with the C4 Model
Structurizr, available at https://structurizr.com/ and also has a free plan available with a single workspace available, is a tool that allows you to build out a C4 model using its Structurizr DSL to outline the Containers, Components, and Contexts of the architecture. It is a valuable tool for designing and visualizing a software architecture. In this example we'll build out a simple Machine Learning Pipeline, I mean a very basic one, featuring an ETL Pipeline and a model that trains images that classifies it as a image of planet earth or not. To begin, lets define our work space.

Top 9 software architecture tools
Structurizr builds upon "diagrams as code", allowing you to create multiple diagrams from a single model using a number of tools and programming languages.

Launch HN: IcePanel (YC W23) – Onboard engineers with explorable system designs
As a customer since 2021, is this re-launch HN?
Loved the concept, found it fell over for real-sized things on even the most powerful machines, had to switch to Structurizr to do our C4 modeling: https://structurizr.com/
Was very disappointed, bet I'd get more devs to model architecture with this tool. If it's relaunching because perf problems were resolved, will look forward to try it again.
Depending on scope of people's needs, either highly recommended or, try it first.
Hats off to Victor for great support back then, and I see the docs are a reflection of that, like this section on embedding into popular tools:
https://docs.icepanel.io/features/sharing#embedding-share-li...
TL;DR: Helpful team, thoughtful UI, thoughtful docs, a product capability (c4 modeling) very worth understanding and using.

Keep your diagrams updated with continuous delivery
He built a tool called Structurizr for this.

D2 is now open source – a new, modern language that turns text to diagrams
Ah this is like https://structurizr.com which is based on C4.

Monodraw
For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver).
While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

What is your favorite tool for designing complex architecture, and why is it MS Paint?
You can also get it for desktop. It's the same web app but I like to have it installed.

Open-source drawing tool – Excalidraw
I like excalidraw for live discussions but if I want to make more detailed or better looking diagrams, I really enjoy these two tools:
- For drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG, I really like DrawIO. They have a web version https://app.diagrams.net/ but I strongly recommend the desktop version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/
- For text-as-diagram, I think Mermaid wins this by default since GitHub added markdown support for these: https://mermaid.live/ (This was github's announcement https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-fil... )

HarvardX CS50's Introduction to Programming with Python
Protip: get draw.io if you want to edit that file. Or just use the online https://www.drawio.com/ (previously diagram.net?)

Writing software with seamless diagramming?
LibreOffice Writer with Drawio-desktop (and Inkscape if it needs complex editing), if LibreOffice Writer is not enough you can try Scribus.

The struggle is real. What free software exists for control circuit diagrams?
Perhaps diagrams.net (click 'more shapes' to add the electrical symbols). There is also yEd. It has logic gates, but I don't know if it has electrical components. Of course KiCAD is specifically designed for circuits, but that might not fit your application.
