The problem

Pain you know too well

These challenges compound over time. The longer they go unaddressed, the more they cost in engineering time and reliability.

Architecture is a solo activity

One architect creates diagrams alone. The rest of the team never touches them, so they never feel ownership.

Conflicting edits cause confusion

Multiple people edit copies of the same diagram. Merging changes is manual and error-prone.

No governance over changes

Anyone can edit architecture diagrams without review. Changes go live without oversight.

How it works

Up and running in a few steps

1

Invite your team

Add team members to your Archyl organization. Assign roles and permissions per project.

2

Edit together in real-time

Multiple team members can edit C4 diagrams simultaneously. See each other's cursors and changes live.

3

Propose changes via change requests

For governed changes, create a change request that others can review and approve before it goes live.

4

Comment and discuss on elements

Add comments to specific C4 elements. Discuss architecture decisions in context, not in disconnected Slack threads.
