Diagram as Code is an approach that allows you to create diagrams through code instead of traditional graphic tools. Instead of manually building diagrams, you can write code in a text file to define the structure, components, and connections of your diagrams.
This code is then translated into graphical images, making it easier to integrate and document in software projects, where it is especially useful for creating and updating architectural and flow diagrams programmatically.
Diagrams is a 🐍Python library that implements the Diagram as Code approach, enabling you to create architectural infrastructure diagrams and other types of diagrams through code. With Diagrams, you can easily define cloud infrastructure components (such as AWS, Azure, and GCP), network elements, software services, and more, all with just a few lines of code.
