FlowConsole
as Code Platform
Accelerate delivery, guardrail your agents, reduce tech debt and cut incident costs — with an architectural model that's always up to date
How architecture work is done today
Documentation goes stale faster than it's updated
Architecture diagrams live in Confluence while code changes in Git. Developers spend up to 42% of their time dealing with tech debt and outdated documentation.
Architecture visibility fades while tech debt grows
44% of architects and engineers report losing visibility into their architecture, and 51% of companies spend more than 25% of their IT budget on tech debt.
Architecture oversight eats up time
Without automation, architects spend most of their time on review meetings and manual checks instead of designing new solutions.

FlowConsole solves this
Code analysis
Code and model always in sync
FlowConsole scans your source code — imports, API calls, database connections — and compares what it finds with the architectural model. New service appeared in code but not in the model? You'll know about it before it reaches production.
Infrastructure auto-scanning
Don't draw 100 microservices by hand. FlowConsole parses docker-compose, Kubernetes manifests, OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specs — and builds the architectural model itself. You refine, not create from scratch.
Architecture tests
Fitness functions in CI/CD
Forbid circular dependencies, limit coupling, check compliance with standards — automatically in every pipeline. Architecture violation = build failure. Write rules in any supported language.
Drift Detection
Model and reality always match
FlowConsole compares your architectural model with real infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specs. Result — fewer production incidents, faster onboarding of new developers and shorter feature delivery cycles.
Any notation — one platform
C4, ArchiMate or your own metamodel — FlowConsole doesn't impose a notation. Define element types and relationships for your project. Smart auto-layout with manual adjustment. Drill-down: click an element to go a level deeper.
Architecture in your language
TypeScript, C#, Go, Java, Python — use the language your team already writes in. Prefer declarative? Describe the model in YAML. No proprietary DSLs to learn. Full IDE support: autocomplete, typing, refactoring out of the box.
import type { User, ComputerSystem, Container } from '@flowconsole/sdk';
const customer: User = { name: "Customer", description: "Online shopper" };
const eshop: ComputerSystem = { name: "eShop Platform" };
const webApp: Container = { name: "Web App", system: eshop };
const api: Container = { name: "API", system: eshop };
const db: Container = { name: "Database", system: eshop };
customer.sendsRequestTo(webApp, "browse")
.then(webApp)
.sendsRequestTo(api, "GET /products")
.then(api)
.sendsRequestTo(db, "SELECT products");
Git-native by default
The architectural model is regular files in your repository. Pull requests, code review, change history, branches — everything works just like for regular code.
Architecture concerns everyone
CTO / Technical Director
Accelerate delivery by 25–40%. Reduce incident costs through drift detection.
System Architect
A single source of truth instead of 15 outdated Confluence pages. Automatic standards checks without manual reviews.
Team Lead / Tech Lead
A clear dependency map for planning. New developers onboard via a living model, not verbal explanations.
System Analyst
System context without bothering the architect: dependencies, contracts, endpoints.
