This is the 12th day of my participation in the November Gwen Challenge. Check out the event details: The last Gwen Challenge 2021

Previous article Hi, all the architecture diagrams you want to create online are here! (1), click through the past.

Four, Terrastruct

Terrastruct can represent more complex software designs than other graphic design generation tools that generate static images. The highlight is that the diagram can be layered according to the level of abstraction, and scenarios can be defined to describe each boundary case.

With their official website is defined as a Programmable diagrams to visualize the software systems, namely have programmatically to drawing a graph to express the visualization software system.

It has three main features, including: multi-layer, which allows stacking of layers, i.e. supports multi-layer, which allows the diagram to be displayed from global to individual details.

Scenario switching: supports dynamic display of different images in multi-service scenarios, which helps to express various scenarios to users.

Live data, for static diagrams, can enrich your component diagrams by producing data in real time. And it can integrate with popular services like AWS, GCP, and GitHub to make your charts dynamically reflect the state of your system.

In addition to the above, it also supports multiplayer collaboration, team mode, icon encryption and more. Of course, some of the enhancements are available for a fee, so if you are interested, you can try them out. After all, they are different from static charts and can make your charts more dynamic and expressive.

Fifth, Gliffy

Gliffy is a fantastic plotting tool that helps you create a variety of charts, such as flowcharts, ORG charts, Venn charts, wireframes, MindMap, Web design, and more. The user interface is similar to draw.io. However, I see more color shapes, which are very convenient and attractive to look at. It can also do business support, software design, UI design, etc.

The tool is available for a free trial and, of course, for a fee. As for tools, I just want to say that if you don’t hate the draw. IO UI, you don’t need to use it.

The following tools for creating architecture diagrams online include:

  • Edraw Max
  • Cacoo
  • Lucidchart
  • Creately
  • Coggle
  • Mindmeister
  • yED

Which one do you use, my friend? Comment on your usual tool, the best online drawing tool you think!
