IBM Architecture Diagrams
Collections of IBM Product/solutions diagrams in diagrams.net application
After being tired of recreating drawings or not being able to change drawings for different reasons.
So after some searching, I stranded on diagrams.net as it looks to cover my cases and much more.
Why Diagrams.net
As stated on diagrams.net, it’s an open-source technology stack for building diagramming applications, and the world’s most widely used browser-based end-user diagramming software.
That means if I share a diagrams.net diagram, you know anyone can open and edit it, and there are multiple integrations between different application platforms, DropBox, Github. Check out: integrations with other platforms and applications, including Atlassian Confluence Cloud. for more information.
There is also now Diagrams.net plugins for different IDEA/Editors, (IntelliJ and Atoms) so you can edit drawings directly into Editors.
If you want to know more, Dishit Devasia has covered more on the usage.
