# Diagrams

**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 four major providers: `AWS`, `Azure`, `GCP` and `Kubernetes`.

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

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

## Getting Started

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/installation#quick-start). And you can go [guides](https://diagrams.mingrammer.com/docs/diagram) for more details.
