FAQPage Schema
How do I generate system architecture diagrams using Mermaid and PlantUML?

You generate system architecture diagrams using Mermaid and PlantUML by writing code-based syntax that defines components and relationships. This approach renders visual diagrams for system design while maintaining version control and consistency.

What is the best way to document microservices data flows and technical workflows?

The best way to document microservices data flows is using code-based diagramming tools. This generates maintainable sequence diagrams and data flow visualizations that track technical workflows and integrate directly into documentation.

Can I create C4 context diagrams for stakeholders with code-based diagramming?

Yes, you can create C4 context diagrams for stakeholders using code-based diagramming. This supports generating C4 models that visualize system architecture and context, making technical design accessible for stakeholder review.

What diagram types are supported for visualizing system design and technical workflows?

Supported diagram types for visualizing system design include system architecture, C4 models, sequence diagrams, component diagrams, deployment diagrams, and data flow diagrams, all generated through code-based syntax.

Does code-based diagramming work for maintaining version control of architecture documentation?

Yes, code-based diagramming works for maintaining version control of architecture documentation. By defining diagrams using Mermaid and PlantUML syntax, system design changes are tracked as code, ensuring consistency and maintainability.
