Core Features
Document your architecture
Document domains, services and messages across your architecture.
AI-powered discovery
Ask questions about your architecture and business in natural language. The built-in AI chat and MCP server let you and your tools query your catalog.
Schema explorer
Quickly find any schema across your catalog — OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Protobuf, JSON Schema, Avro, and more. All in one searchable place.
Schema fields
Filter and find any property on any field across your entire catalog. See how fields are used across services and messages.
Bring your own docs
Attach architecture decision records, runbooks, and any custom documentation to your domains, services, and teams. Version them alongside your architecture.
Document business flows
Tell the end-to-end story of your business workflows. Reference the services and messages you already have to build a higher-level picture of how everything fits together.
And much more...
- Version your resources — Full semantic versioning for events, commands, services, and more
- 15+ generators — Auto-generate from AsyncAPI, OpenAPI, Kafka, Confluent, AWS EventBridge, and more
- Customizable — Themes, custom MDX components, and configurable layouts
- Enterprise ready — OAuth2, RBAC, schema governance, breaking change detection
