Getting started

Quick start

Five steps from an empty canvas to a running simulation. No install, no sign-up.

  1. 1
    Open the editor
    Go to /dashboard. A two-node starter diagram is already on the canvas.
  2. 2
    Drag in components
    Search the left palette — “kafka”, “redis”, “s3” — and drag any component onto the canvas.
  3. 3
    Connect them
    Drag from the handle at the bottom of one node to the handle at the top of another. Direction matters: it is what the simulation follows.
  4. 4
    Describe them
    Select a node and fill in its label and description in the right panel. A described diagram is a document; an undescribed one is a picture.
  5. 5
    Run it
    Press Run in the toolbar and watch data traverse the design step by step. Parallel branches light up together.
Keeping your work
The canvas autosaves to this browser. For anything you care about, use Export JSON — autosave is a convenience, not a backup.
