It supports major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud) as well as on-premises nodes, SaaS, and programming frameworks. The library uses Graphviz to render diagrams to image files, allowing you to version-control architecture documentation alongside your infrastructure code.\n\nThe package is designed for prototyping new architectures, documenting existing systems, and tracking architecture changes through version control. It does not provision cloud resources or generate infrastructure-as-code templates (Terraform, CloudFormation); it is purely for visualization. It requires Python 3.9+ and a system installation of Graphviz.","worth_installing":"Yes. Diagrams is actively maintained, permissively licensed, has low install friction, and fills a clear need for developers who want to treat architecture diagrams as code. The 42508 repository stars and top-5000 PyPI position confirm real adoption. The only prerequisite is a separate Graphviz installation, which is a one-time setup. Install it if you need to document or prototype cloud architectures programmatically."},"id":"diagrams","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/diagrams","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/diagrams.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/diagrams/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"diagrams","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Diagram as Code"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":7503612,"position":1733,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.25.1"}
