**Diagram as Code**.

Diagrams lets you draw the cloud system architecture **in Python code**. It was born for **prototyping** a new system architecture design without any design tools. You can also describe or visualize the existing system architecture as well. Diagrams currently supports main major providers including: `AWS`, `Azure`, `GCP`, `Kubernetes`, `Alibaba Cloud`, `Oracle Cloud` etc... It also supports `On-Premises` nodes, `SaaS` and major `Programming` frameworks and languages.

**Diagram as Code** also allows you to **track** the architecture diagram changes in any **version control** system.

>  NOTE: It does not control any actual cloud resources nor does it generate cloud formation or terraform code. It is just for drawing the cloud system architecture diagrams.

## Getting Started

It requires **Python 3.7** or higher, check your Python version first.

It uses [Graphviz](https://www.graphviz.org/) to render the diagram, so you need to [install Graphviz](https://graphviz.gitlab.io/download/) to use **diagrams**. After installing graphviz (or already have it), install the **diagrams**.

> macOS users can download the Graphviz via `brew install graphviz` if you're using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).

```shell
# using pip (pip3)
$ pip install diagrams

# using pipenv
$ pipenv install diagrams

# using poetry
$ poetry add diagrams
```

You can start with [quick start](https://diagrams.mingrammer.com/docs/getting-started/installation#quick-start). Check out [guides](https://diagrams.mingrammer.com/docs/guides/diagram) for more details, and you can find all available nodes list in [here](https://diagrams.mingrammer.com/docs/nodes/aws).

## Who uses it?

[Apache Airflow](https://github.com/apache/airflow) is the most popular data workflow Orchestrator. Airflow uses Diagrams to generate architecture diagrams in their documentation.

[Cloudiscovery](https://github.com/Cloud-Architects/cloudiscovery) helps you to analyze resources in your cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure/Alibaba/IBM) account. It allows you to create a diagram of analyzed cloud resource map based on this Diagrams library, so you can draw your existing cloud infrastructure with Cloudiscovery.

[Airflow Diagrams](https://github.com/feluelle/airflow-diagrams) is an Airflow plugin that aims to easily visualise your Airflow DAGs on service level from providers like AWS, GCP, Azure, etc. via diagrams.

## Other languages

- If you are familiar with Go, you can use [go-diagrams](https://github.com/blushft/go-diagrams) as well.
