Activity diagrams [1] are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and actions [2] with support for choice, iteration, and concurrency. In the Unified Modeling Language, activity diagrams are intended to model both computational and organizational processes (i.e., workflows), as well as the data flows intersecting with the related activities.
In software engineering, a microservice architecture is an architectural pattern that organizes an application into a collection of loosely coupled, fine-grained services that communicate through lightweight protocols. This pattern is characterized by the ability to develop and deploy services independently, improving modularity, scalability ...
In 2011, the company started publishing its hosted service for the mxGraph web application under a separate brand, Diagramly with the domain "diagram.ly". [12]After removing the remaining use of Java applets from its web app, the service rebranded as draw.io in 2012 because the ".io suffix is a lot cooler than .ly", said co-founder David Benson in a 2012 interview.
While deployment flowcharts can be drawn by hand using pen and paper, various software tools include functionality to construct the flowcharts on computer. These include products such as Microsoft Visio. [5] As with other process mapping techniques, deployment flowcharts require a certain degree of detail (and accuracy) to provide useful benefit.
Creately is a SaaS visual collaboration tool [1] with diagramming and design capabilities designed by Cinergix. [2] [3] [4] Creately has two versions: an online cloud edition and a downloadable offline edition for desktop which is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. [5]
Lucidchart is a web-based diagramming application [2] that allows users to visually collaborate on drawing, revising and sharing charts and diagrams, and improve processes, systems, and organizational structures.
A deployment diagram [1] "specifies constructs that can be used to define the execution architecture of systems and the assignment of software artifacts to system elements." [1] To describe a web site, for example, a deployment diagram would show what hardware components ("nodes") exist (e.g., a web server, an application server, and a database server), what software components ("artifacts ...
Services in a microservice architecture [42] are processes that communicate with each other over the network in order to fulfill a goal. These services use technology agnostic protocols, [43] which aid in encapsulating choice of language and frameworks, making their choice a concern internal to the service.
