This article is going to cover some of the tools I have found and play with it lately, the goal is to have a brief introduction to the tools, be familiar with their capabilities and restrictions and, try to figure out if they can be introduced on our production environments as a long term practise. In addition, there are some extra benefits of using these tools such as easy version control, the need for only a text editor to modify the diagram and, the ability to generate the diagrams everywhere, even, as part of our pipelines. I have been playing lately with the DaC concept and, with a little bit of effort, all new practices require some level of it till they are part of the workflow, it can fill this gap and help developers and, other profiles in general, to keep diagrams up to date. The reasons for that can be various, it can be hard for developers to maintain diagrams, lack of time, lack of knowledge on the system, not obvious location of the editable file, only obsolete diagrams available and so on.

But, at the same time, I must recognise, sometimes, I am not diligent enough to update them or, even worst, I arrived at projects where, or they are too old to make sense or there are none. I am someone that, when I arrive at a new environment, finds diagrams very useful to have a general view of how a new system works or, when given explanations to a new joiner.

If not because we have written a few articles on this blog, probably because it is a widely extended-term nowadays.Īt the same time I assume familiarity with the IaC term, I have not heard a lot of people talking about a similar concept called Diagram as Code (DaC) but focus on diagrams. I imagine that everyone reading this blog should be, by now, familiar with the term Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
