Introducing diagram as code

Diagrams as code is a term used for storing the source of a diagram image as a text file. Examples include architecture diagrams, or diagrams showing a system’s behavior or design.

Whether you’re working on cloud architecture, software design, or infrastructure documentation, this approach can simplify your workflow, enhance collaboration, and ensure that your diagrams remain accurate and up-to-date.

This approach offers several advantages

1. Version Control: Diagrams become part of your codebase, enabling versioning, change tracking, and collaboration via tools like Git.
2. Automation: Diagrams can be automatically updated based on changes in…
