Engineering Docs

Technical architecture documentation

Create technical architecture documentation for engineering teams. AI generates component diagrams, API flows, data models, and infrastructure views.

Engineering-level documentation

Component diagrams

Document internal services, modules, and their dependencies with structured component views.

API flow documentation

Sequence diagrams for REST, GraphQL, and gRPC flows between services.

Data model views

Entity-relationship diagrams, database schemas, and data pipeline architectures.

Infrastructure topology

Cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters, networking, and deployment configurations.

Service contracts

Document API contracts, event schemas, and inter-service communication patterns.

Git-native workflow

All docs as Mermaid & PlantUML code. Review in PRs, diff changes, track history.

How it works

Create comprehensive technical architecture documentation with AI assistance.

1

Define your system

Describe your system architecture including services, infrastructure, data stores, external integrations, and communication patterns. Cybewave accepts both natural language and diagram-as-code input.

2

AI creates comprehensive docs

The AI generates multi-view documentation covering system context, container architecture, component details, deployment topology, and cross-cutting concerns like security and observability.

3

Share across teams

Export documentation packages tailored for different audiences — engineering deep-dives, executive summaries, and operations guides — all generated from the same source of truth.

Use cases

Enterprise architecture documentation

Produce enterprise-grade documentation packages covering system landscapes, capability maps, technology standards, and integration patterns across organizational boundaries.

Contractor onboarding packages

Generate comprehensive onboarding documentation that gives external contractors complete system context without requiring weeks of knowledge transfer from internal engineers.

Due diligence documentation

Create technical due diligence packages for M&A activities, investor reviews, or partner evaluations that clearly communicate system architecture and technical capabilities.

ISO and SOC compliance evidence

Generate documentation artifacts required for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and similar compliance frameworks, including architecture diagrams, data flow docs, and security boundary definitions.

Platform team service catalogs

Build service catalog documentation for platform teams, describing available services, SLAs, integration guides, and operational characteristics for consuming teams.

Cost analysis documentation

Produce architecture documentation that maps system components to infrastructure costs, supporting capacity planning and cost optimization initiatives across the organization.

Why technical architecture documentation matters

Technical architecture documentation is the foundation for every other kind of documentation — without it, API docs and runbooks lack the broader context needed to understand system behavior. When engineers troubleshoot at 3 AM, they need to understand not just individual services but how everything connects and why.

Good architecture documentation also prevents architectural drift. When there's no documented target architecture, teams make local decisions that collectively move the system in inconsistent directions. Written architecture documentation serves as a north star that guides implementation decisions across distributed teams.

Investing in architecture documentation pays compounding returns over time. Every onboarding session shortened, every meeting avoided, every incident resolved faster because engineers understood the system — these savings accumulate into weeks of recovered engineering productivity per quarter across the organization.
