What Arcentry is
Arcentry is software for creating interactive infrastructure diagrams for cloud, on-premises, and open-source systems. It supports infrastructure, cloud architecture, network, 2D, and 3D diagrams, with real-time collaboration. Users can import Terraform, OpenTofu, or CloudFormation templates, have them analyzed, and convert them into diagrams. Natural-language descriptions can generate an Infrastructure Description Format document and diagram. More than 700 listed components cover cloud providers, APIs, AI platforms and models, open-source software, and on-premise infrastructure, including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, IBM, Oracle, OpenAI, and Hetzner. Components can be customized with 3D models, colors, icons, or uploaded images. Diagrams can be exported as PNG images or embedded in websites and blogs through an interactive viewer. A real-time API can stream monitoring metrics, deployment state, and auto-scaling changes. The REST API manages documents, objects, metadata, images, and embeds. Platforms include API, self-hosted, and web. The free plan allows three architectures and 30 items per architecture; Standard costs $9.90 a month.
