    Generation of diagrams like flowcharts or sequence diagrams from text in a similar manner as markdown

  • Another solution which I prefer is - maintaining diagrams as code which live in the same repos as the code. There are many tools these days which help us author diagrams from code. My favorites are Mermaid and PlantUML. Now your code can live in the repo and evolve along with the codebase. You might need to do additional setup if you'd like the diagrams to be generated as part of your CI/CD. I like to maintain these in a /docs folder within the project repo.
