Generate Platform Engineering Diagrams with AI

Visualize your Internal Developer Platform end-to-end. Describe your developer portal, golden path templates, CI/CD orchestration, and self-service infrastructure in plain English and get a professional IDP architecture diagram ready for leadership reviews, developer onboarding, or platform roadmap planning.

The challenge

Platform engineering teams build Internal Developer Platforms that span developer portals, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, secrets management, and observability — all stitched together to give application teams a self-service experience. Communicating this architecture clearly is difficult: the IDP is invisible to developers when it works well, which makes it hard to justify investment, onboard new platform engineers, or align with security and infrastructure teams. Most platform teams don't have a current, accurate diagram because maintaining one manually is too slow.

The solution

Describe your IDP the way you'd explain it to a new platform engineer:

"Our IDP uses Backstage as the developer portal with a service catalog and software templates. Developers scaffold new services from templates, triggering GitHub Actions pipelines. The pipeline runs Snyk, builds a Docker image, pushes to ECR, and deploys to EKS via Argo CD. Crossplane provisions supporting AWS resources declared in the service manifest. Secrets come from AWS Secrets Manager via External Secrets Operator. All services get automatic OpenTelemetry instrumentation shipping to our Grafana Cloud stack."

From that description, you get a complete IDP architecture diagram showing the portal, pipeline flow, Kubernetes layer, infrastructure provisioning, and observability integration. Use chat-based editing to add environment boundaries, annotate policy enforcement points, or adjust tool names.

Platform engineering diagrams we support

IDP overview diagram
Top-level view of the full Internal Developer Platform: developer portal, platform APIs, CI/CD automation, infrastructure layer, and observability. Used for leadership briefings and cross-team alignment.
Golden path workflow diagram
Step-by-step flow from service scaffold through CI/CD gates to production deployment. Shows what's automated, what's configurable, and where engineers make decisions.
Self-service resource provisioning diagram
How application teams request and receive infrastructure resources (databases, queues, object storage) through the platform via Crossplane, Terraform, or cloud-native APIs.
Multi-environment delivery diagram
How environments (dev, staging, prod) are structured — separate clusters vs. namespaces, promotion workflows via Argo CD or Flux, and environment-specific configuration overlays.
Platform control plane architecture
The internal architecture of the platform itself: Backstage backend and plugins, Kubernetes operator integrations, GitHub App connections, and cloud provider API bindings.

Perfect for

Platform team leadership and roadmap presentations
Developer onboarding documentation for new application engineers
IDP architecture review and design sessions
Security and compliance audits of delivery pipeline controls
Engineering all-hands and cross-team alignment meetings
Platform engineering job postings and capability assessments
