Stop wasting your time on documentation no one reads

Replace scattered, outdated docs with architecture documentation your team can find, trust, and understand.
So decisions move faster and everyone stays aligned.

The values Revision add when describing your system architecture diagram

Kristofer Andersen

CEO

Revision has become part of how we work internally. We use it early to align on the architecture and deliver better solutions to our customers.

Tor Suneson

Business Architect

Because the structure is built in, our documentation stays consistent without extra work. It's faster to write, review, and understand.

Architectural diagrams are the bread and butter of software design and a foundational tool for communication and collaboration on software development.

At Spotify, we have an incredibly complex network of thousands of interlinked software systems owned by hundreds of teams, so having a simple way to visualize these connections is essential.

We need tools to look at our architecture at different abstraction levels in order to make good design decisions and evolve our software in a sustainable way.

Stop forcing architecture into drawing tools

Drawing tools are fine for sketches. Revision is for architecture docs that stay clear, current, and reusable.

Clarity for every stakeholder

Move from overview to technical detail in linked diagrams that stay easy to follow.

Give every stakeholder the right level of detail.
Navigate between levels instead of cramming everything into one diagram.
Use a C4-friendly structure without heavyweight notation.

Model once, reuse everywhere

Stop redrawing the same system in disconnected files. Build a reusable model behind every diagram.

Create components once and reuse them across views.
Update in one place and keep related diagrams aligned.
Search the model instead of hunting through old exports.

Document architecture faster

Work in a focused editor built for architecture documentation, not a general-purpose canvas.

Use keyboard shortcuts and built-in patterns to move faster.
Start from examples instead of blank pages.
Capture the important structure without extra ceremony.

Share with anyone. Free.

Share live docs with teammates, stakeholders, and clients without paying for viewer seats.

Control who can access your docs.
Share a live link or an always-updated embed.
Keep reviewers in the loop without extra licensing cost.

Works where your docs already live

Bring Revision into the tools where your team already works, from docs portals to engineering hubs.

YAML architecture definition in Revision

Generate diagrams with YAML and AI

Use YAML that AI can draft, engineers can review in Git, and Revision can turn into clear diagrams. See the full workflow.

Define components, relationships, and labels in plain YAML.
Let AI draft and update diagrams in a structured format.
Review changes in pull requests and regenerate them in CI/CD.

Trace dependencies instantly

Search your model to see how systems connect, understand downstream impact, and answer dependency questions fast.

Model current and future state

Document how your architecture works today, design what changes next, and compare both in the same workspace.

1,000+ built-in icons

Choose from more than 1,000 included icons without hunting for external sets or compromising consistency.

Exports that stay current

Share diagram images that stay in sync with your model, so teams always see the latest version.

Adapt Revision to your domain

Add the structure and metadata you need so your model reflects the way your systems, teams, and platforms actually work.

Export to Draw.io

Move diagrams into Draw.io when you need to collaborate in existing workflows or hand work off to other teams.

Sync your model via API

Import data from your existing systems, export changes back out, and keep Revision aligned with the rest of your tooling.

Bring Revision into Backstage

Use our Backstage plugin to surface architecture docs inside Backstage, where engineers already work.

Make architecture documentation worth doing

Stop leaving architecture docs until the end. Capture decisions while the work is still moving.

Why teams switch

Stop rebuilding the same diagram in every tool.

Use a shared model instead of scattered files and screenshots.

Document while decisions are still fresh.

Capture architecture during design, not weeks later when context is gone.

Give every diagram a longer shelf life.

Each diagram becomes part of reusable documentation your team can keep building on.

Robin Hultman

CTO

We used to leave documentation until the end of a project. Now we capture it during the design phase, before development starts.

It's surprisingly quick to do, so it's there when the team needs it.

Create architecture docs your team will trust

Replace scattered diagrams and stale screenshots with clear, living docs your team can keep current.
