Mermaid Online Architecture Diagram Tool

Turn complex system structures into clear architecture views, helping teams understand module composition, technical boundaries and interaction relationships.

What is an architecture diagram

An architecture diagram is a high-level design diagram used to describe the overall structure of a system and component relationships. By showing modules, services, interfaces and dependencies, it helps teams understand how a complex system is composed. Architecture diagrams are widely used in software design, technical solution review and system planning.

Use cases

Cloud platform architecture design

Show the relationships between cloud services, servers, databases and storage resources.

Technical infrastructure planning

Describe infrastructure components such as networks, computing and storage to support system deployment design.

Microservice architecture analysis

Show the connection relationships between service modules, API gateways and data services.

Enterprise system planning

Used to show the overall structure of enterprise application systems, business platforms and technical environments.

System deployment documentation

Help development and operations teams understand the system runtime environment and deployment plans.
