Welcome to Architecto

Architecto is the AI-native platform for modern cloud architecture. Transform natural language descriptions into production-ready cloud architecture diagrams, comprehensive analysis reports, and professional documentation—all in one unified workflow.

What You Can Build

With Architecto, you can:

• Design Architecture Visually — Use Architect AI to generate multi-cloud architecture diagrams from natural language descriptions, or start with our pattern library of 240+ pre-built reference architectures
• Analyze Before Deployment — Leverage our Ultrathink analysis suite to evaluate cost implications, scalability limits, security threats, and performance characteristics
• Generate Professional Documentation — Create RFCs, ADRs, runbooks, and design documents automatically from your architecture
• Share and Collaborate — Export to PPT with custom branding, share diagrams via token links, and collect team feedback with inline comments
• Learn Cloud Architecture — Master best practices through 1,000+ quizzes and 1,000+ flashcard suites with spaced repetition
• Integrate with Your Workflow — Connect with GitHub, GitLab, Terraform, VS Code, Discord, Jira, and Confluence

Core Workflows

1. Prompt to Architecture

Describe your infrastructure needs in plain English, and Architect AI generates multiple architecture options with cost, security, and scalability analysis.

2. Code to Diagram

Upload your Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep files. Architecto automatically generates topology diagrams and identifies optimization opportunities.

3. Architecture Review

Share diagrams with your team. Collect feedback, compare versions, and track governance compliance with our built-in drift detector.

4. Learning and Mastery

Daily quizzes and flashcards help you and your team build cloud architecture expertise with structured, gamified learning paths.

Key Concepts

Before you begin, familiarize yourself with these fundamental concepts:

• Topology — The visual representation of your cloud architecture and service relationships
• Nodes — Individual components (compute, storage, networking, databases, etc.)
• Flows — Data movement and communication between services
• Analysis Modules — Specialized tools that evaluate architecture against specific dimensions (cost, security, scalability)
• Profiles — Predefined cloud provider configurations (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes)
• Themes — Visual customization for exports and presentations
