Software Architecture Documentation
Documentation that stays true to the system: generate diagrams, ADRs, NFRs, threat model, and cost notes from one model derived from your code and infrastructure.
What belongs in a software architecture documentation
Architecture documentation rots the moment it's hand-drawn: the system ships, the wiki doesn't move. The fix is structural — derive the docs from the source of truth (your IaC and code), keep every artifact (diagram, decisions, NFRs, risks) in one consistent model, and regenerate instead of redrawing.
How Architext builds it
Architext parses docker-compose, Kubernetes, CloudFormation, Terraform, or a GitHub repo into a queryable graph, and compiles the diagram, solution-architecture document, and slide decks from it — one model, every artifact, no drift.
Document, export, and share
Once the document is right, compile the full solution-architecture document, generate an audience-tailored slide deck, export to PNG, SVG, Mermaid, or PowerPoint, or share a read-only link — all from the same model.
FAQ
- Why does architecture documentation go stale?
- Because it's redrawn by hand from memory. Deriving it from infrastructure-as-code makes the docs reflect what's actually deployed.
- What should architecture documentation include?
- A context diagram, the container/component views, ADRs, NFRs, a RAID log, a threat model, and cost notes — the sections reviewers expect.
- Can I keep docs in sync automatically?
- Re-import your IaC or repo any time — the diagram and document regenerate from the same model.
