Use CasesSystem Architects

Diagram your systems. Keep every engineer on the same page.

System architects and engineering teams use Polystaq to map technical architectures, service dependencies, and data flows, and generate the documentation that stays current even as systems change.

Flexible notation

Model microservices, data pipelines, infrastructure, or hybrid architectures without fighting templates designed for a different era. Any system, any shape.

AI architecture docs

AI generates service descriptions, dependency maps, interface specifications, and decision rationale from your diagram. No more README debt.

Documentation that reflects reality

Update the diagram when the system changes. AI regenerates the docs instantly. Architecture documentation that actually matches what's running in production.

How it works

Start to finish, in three steps.

01

Map the architecture

Place services, databases, queues, and APIs on the canvas. Draw connections, label interfaces, annotate data flows, and mark ownership at each component.

02

AI writes the docs

AI generates component descriptions, data flow summaries, dependency maps, and interface specs in plain language, useful for engineers at every level.

03

Publish and version

Push to Confluence, Notion, or export. When the architecture evolves, update the diagram, documentation follows automatically.

Who uses this

Designs and documents target-state architectures for new systems, migrations, and customer solutions.

Platform Engineer

Maps infrastructure components and dependencies for reliability engineering and incident response.

CTO

Maintains architectural oversight across the organization without requiring manual documentation from every team.

Staff Engineer
