What is SketchMyInfra?

It's a tool to generate accurate architecture diagrams from plain text descriptions, living in your git repo for version control and PR reviews.

How to stop architecture diagrams from becoming outdated?

Treat them as code: describe in text files, auto-generate visuals, review changes like any IaC— no more manual PNG rot.

Maybe—for DevOps teams. It skips drag-drop for code workflow integration, but test the beta; visual tools win for non-engineers.
