LikeC4
Toolchain for your architecture diagrams
LikeC4 is a set of tools and DSL, that describes architecture as a single model and then compiled into multiple diagrams.
Your code is single source of truth.
Any change, refinement or deprecation is reflected automatically in the architecture diagrams.
No more outdated documentation!
And history of changes is your version control system.
LikeC4 provides:
architecture-as-a-code with native IDE support
development server with live reload
static website generation (live demo)
React and Webcomponents generation to embed to your website
CI/CD automation via CLI and GitHub Actions
export to various formats:
PNG
Mermaid
D2
DOT (Graphviz)
You can use LikeC4 standalone or integrate with existing toolchain.

Unified Grid: How We Re-Architected Slack for Our Largest Customers - Slack Engineering
All software is built atop a core set of assumptions. As new code is added and new use-cases emerge, software can become unmoored from those assumptions. When this happens, a fundamental tension arises between revisiting those foundational assumptions—which usually entails a lot of work—or trying to support new behavior atop the existing architecture. The latter …
