Archi-Flow
Archi-Flow is a live architecture simulator that transforms static cloud diagrams into dynamic, traffic-driven visualizations. Design complex systems by dragging and connecting components, then run real-time simulations to observe how data flows, identify bottlenecks, and validate your infrastructure before deployment.
Product Highlights
- Live Traffic Simulation: Watch events per second flow through your architecture with real-time latency and error rate monitoring
- 45+ Cloud-Native Components: Comprehensive library covering compute, storage, networking, data pipelines, messaging, and AI/ML services
- Real-Time Collaboration: Peer-to-peer live sharing enables teams to edit diagrams together without server infrastructure or accounts
- Multi-Format Export: Export your architectures as JSON, PDF, SVG, or PNG for documentation and presentations
- Performance Analytics: Built-in SLA estimation, P95 latency tracking, and load-based health indicators (Healthy/Warning/Critical)
- Zero-Setup Access: Free tier available with Google sign-in; no complex installation required
Use Cases
- Cloud Architecture Design: Plan AWS, Azure, or GCP infrastructure with validated traffic patterns before production deployment
- System Reliability Testing: Simulate failure scenarios and observe cascade effects across microservices architectures
- Technical Documentation: Generate exportable diagrams that communicate infrastructure decisions to stakeholders
- Team Onboarding: Interactive architecture exploration helps new engineers understand complex system interactions
- Cost Optimization Planning: Model auto-scaling behaviors and right-size infrastructure components based on simulated load
Target Audience
Archi-Flow serves cloud architects, DevOps engineers, SRE teams, and technical leads who need to design, validate, and communicate distributed systems. It's ideal for startups building their first scalable infrastructure and enterprises modernizing legacy architectures.
