Blueprintr - Diagram-first architecture documentation

by•
Blueprintr provides a diagram-first approach to architecture documentation. You can draw system architectures, embed detailed documentation directly inside shapes, and share work via a single live link. The platform includes a feature called Continuum that can connect to AWS or Azure environments to automatically diagram infrastructure that is already running.

I've been in tech for around 15 years now, started at an ISP, then an MSSP, then an enterprise and now a security vendor. Despite that, my wife says I have been doing the same thing all this time. Drawing diagrams and technical writing. So I consider myself an expert in that area. Blueprintr is my attempt at making the diagram the document rather than part of the document. Its not just a drawing tool, its designed to be a fully featured documentation hub (knowledge-base, wiki, whatever you want to call it). What's actually different from the drawing tools I've used: - Shapes are clickable - Any shape can open a panel of rich content: notes, runbooks, embedded video, code sandboxes, dashboards etc - Icon packs are pre-included (where I am allowed to do so) - You can connect a cloud account and import what's actually deployed Again, Blueprintr is more than just a drawing tool, in a nutshell there are 6 primary 'tools' in this toolbox: Blueprints: The primary thing you actually create Vellum: The first-party diagram editor (YAML based) Stratum: The thing that pops up when you click a shape Continuum: The engine that connects to other platforms (AWS, Azure, Solarwinds, Github etc) Podium: Diagram as slides Folium: Traditional 3-pane documentation Atrium: A no-code customizable KB homepage Please give it a go and let me know what you think!
