The architecture catalog for distributed systems

Discover your domains, services, events, and schemas — with AI-powered discovery, interactive visualizations, and 15+ generators for Kafka, EventBridge, RabbitMQ, and more.

31,000+ catalogs created

That's it. Open http://localhost:3000 and start documenting your architecture.

Looking for a guided walkthrough? Check out the Getting Started guide.

Interactive node graphs that map your entire system — services, events, commands, queries, domains, and how they connect.

Ask questions about your architecture and business in natural language. The built-in AI chat and MCP server let you and your tools explore your catalog.

Quickly find any schema across your catalog — OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Protobuf, JSON Schema, Avro, and more. All in one searchable place.

Filter and find any property on any field across your entire catalog. See how fields are used across services and messages.

Attach architecture decision records, runbooks, and any custom documentation to your domains, services, and teams. Version them alongside your architecture.

Tell the end-to-end story of your business workflows. Reference the services and messages you already have to build a higher-level picture of how everything fits together.

• Version your resources — Full semantic versioning for events, commands, services, and more
• 15+ generators — Auto-generate from AsyncAPI, OpenAPI, Kafka, Confluent, AWS EventBridge, and more
• Customizable — Themes, custom MDX components, and configurable layouts
• Enterprise ready — OAuth2, RBAC, schema governance, breaking change detection
