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Replace scattered, outdated docs with architecture documentation your team can find, trust, and understand.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

Word, PowerPoint, and Draw.io were built for drawing. Revision is built for architecture docs that stay clear, current, and easy to share.

Clarity for every stakeholder

Linkable hierarchical docs cater to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Move from the big picture to technical detail in a click.
Give every stakeholder the right level of detail.
Fully C4 Model compatible

Model once, reuse everywhere

Stop waisting time in general drawing tools. Build a behind-the-scene model that can be searched and reused.

Everything you document becomes part of a reusable model.
Create components once, reuse everywhere
Update in one place, updates everywhere

Document architecture faster

Just what you need to create great docs. No more, no less.

An editor built for architecture docs.
All the keyboard shortcuts
Built-in examples and best practices help you move faster.

Share with anyone. Free.

Share your diagrams with as few or as many as you want, without extra charge.

Control who can access your docs
Sharing is as easy as sharing a link
Share a live link or embed an always-updated image.

Works where your docs already live

Already have your designs and docs on another platform?
No problem. Revision integrates with all the common platforms.

YAML architecture definition in Revision

Generate diagrams with YAML and AI

Use a structured YAML format that is easy for AI to generate, easy for engineers to review in Git, and easy for Revision to turn into clear diagrams.

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 documentation worth doing

Stop spending days on documentation no one can find, trust, or use.

Why teams switch

Stop documenting architecture in Word, PowerPoint, Visio, and Miro.

Use a workflow designed for architecture docs, not general-purpose canvases.

Make documentation useful from day one.

Create docs people can find, trust, and use while the work is still moving.

Create lasting value in minutes.

Every diagram adds to a reusable model 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.

Architecture docs, finally.
