Thank you!

draft right now is a "newborn" so not yet comparable with the giants you mentioned ... I wish one day it would really become worthy :-)

The idea of draft was born of necessity:

  • I often have to create architectural diagrams, sketch and then change this drawings quickly during a meeting
  • defining "abstract" symbols without specifying AWS, Azure, CGP but with a precise meaning, which also facilitates the creation of templates
  • Diagrams is super cool but you need to write python code, so you need python installed etc. etc.
  • PlantUML is perfect but you can create everything sequence diagrams, activities, class diagrams and much more... I wanted something specific for the serverless / cloud architectures
  • having a single executable binary without dependencies and multi os (Win, Nix, Mac etc.)
  • writing a simple YAML file to model the architecture
  • not less important :-D I love coding in Go I love coding this kind of commandline tools (I'm super bored of REST Api etc :-P )

All the best,
Luca
