Vektir turns data models and flow diagrams into portable, versionable code — no proprietary formats, no six-figure licenses.
Somewhere in your org there's a Confluence page with a six-month-old Visio export nobody can edit, and a Miro board that costs $20/seat.
Enterprise diagramming tools haven't fundamentally changed since 2005. Yet the per-seat pricing keeps climbing. You're paying a premium for a proprietary format that locks your work inside their ecosystem.
A PNG in a Confluence page. A Visio file nobody can open. A Miro board exported as PDF. None of these can be updated programmatically, diffed in a pull request, or read by an LLM.
If your architecture diagram isn't in Git, it isn't versioned. Proprietary binary formats can't be code-reviewed, can't be generated from data, and can't feed into AI tooling.
Both Vektir tools export to Mermaid — a plain-text diagram format that lives in your repo, renders in GitHub, and works with any LLM.
Visual dataflow and process diagramming. Build pipeline diagrams, system architecture maps, and data flow charts with a code-first canvas that exports to formats your team can actually use.
Data modeling with guardrails. Define entities, relationships, and naming conventions, then export to DDL or Mermaid ERDs ready for your repo, your docs, or your AI assistant.
Mermaid is plain text. It lives in a .md file,
a Git repo, a Notion page, a README. It renders natively on GitHub.
It can be written by hand, generated by code, or produced by an LLM.
No binary blobs, no vendor lock-in.
We chose Mermaid because it's the closest thing the developer ecosystem has to a lingua franca for diagrams. It's not perfect — but it's portable, human-readable, and already in your workflow whether you know it or not.
Every diagram you create in Vektir is yours. Export it, commit it, share it, feed it to an AI, run it through a script. We don't hold your work hostage in a proprietary format.
"Your diagrams should outlive the tool you built them in."
