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.

Tell HN: My Favorite Tools
I think I have somewhere around 1k notes. Startup time is not my concern as I keep it open all the time. It seems like I bumped into https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issu... tl;dr: Minimal theme doesn't get along with Excalidraw.

Wireflow – free, online, open source tool for creating user-flow prototypes
I use excalidraw for almost everything. Brilliant tool. I already mentioned it in another response in this thread but using excalidraw inside obsidian via https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin has been a game changer for me.
You may already do this but if you haven’t, check out the excalidraw plugin in Obsidian: https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin
Zslot has put an incredible amount of work into it and it extends excalidraw to have a lot of additional capabilities. You can also use it within Obsidian canvas for some of the flow stuff you mention but you could very likely just use the plugin.
Zslot is constantly updating it too so you get new features and updates almost every other time you open it. Amazing work done there.
And Obsidian is just awesome too :)

Embed excalidraw in Emacs?
In the end, none of these really fill the void I am looking for yet. excalidraw might do it one day, but it is far behind something like Notability, which for me is an ideal notetaking/drawing tool that almost hits the right balance of just enough tools to be creative, and not so many to be overwhelming. Being able to do the drawing/writing on an iPad is also pretty critical for me; I have not found a drawing tablet that is better for this purpose so far. The work here https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin gives me hope for excalidraw, but I am not fluent enough in Typescript to make this happen anytime soon!
Is it possible to do something like this excalidraw plugin https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin in Emacs?

Note taking app with drawing and spreadsheet feature?
Hi, with Obsidian Excalidraw I think you can have what you are looking for drawing…it’s a huge plugin. For spreadsheets, or you convert the tables in markdown tables or you can put the spreadsheet file into your vault and open it when needed, but atm I don’t have a valid solution on this
What are some alternatives?
