In my RSS feed recently, I came across another great application that lets you create a database model from scratch, i.e. create tables one by one and create the links between them.

However, there's another option that I find really nice: you can get a visual of the tables and relationships of any existing application in a few seconds from an .sql file that you import into drawdb-app.

Let's take a quick look at how it works.

Imagine you to have a very big docker-compose.yml file with a lot of services and dependencies.

You've too multiple exposed ports.

You'd like to have an at-a-glance view of services, dependencies and open ports. Is this possible? Yes! https://github.com/compose-viz/compose-viz do the magic for us.

I really like the idea of not having to draw (actually, that is just because I am really bad at it) a diagram, a flow chart, a graphic representation of something that ... can be written.

Json crack is one of the tools in my toolkit when I want to draw something that can be written in json.

As a markdown lover, I always enjoy finding a little tool that lets me write a text and have it converted into another format.

For this article, we're going to write, in plain text, a mind map, which means that our text will be converted into a mind map image.

But what a joy it is to be able to draw diagrams by, well, just writing text. Some tools are better known than others, e.g. Mermaid.

Did you know https://diagrams.mingrammer.com/? Let's explore it using, of course, a Docker ready-to-use image.
