Sheldon Hull walks us through the diagrams package in Python:
LucidChart, Draw.io and other tools are great for a quick solution.
Mermaid also provides a nice simple text based diagramming tool that is integrated with many markdown tools.
For me, this just never fit. I like a bit of polish and beauty in a visual presentation and most of these are very utilitarian in their output.
I came across diagrams and found it a perfect fit for intuitive and beautiful diagram rendering of cloud architecture, and figured it would be worth a blog post to share this.
Back when GitPitch was still a viable concern, I had just gotten into using the diagrams package. It takes some getting used to and has very strong preferences on the sorts of relationships diagram elements can have, but it’s good at its job.
