The intelligent architecture diagramming tool for modern engineering teams. Design, simulate, and document in minutes.Archimyst is an AI-powered system design platform that transforms ideas into production-ready backend architectures. Generate, simulate, and validate cloud systems in minutes by stress-testing performance, cost, and failure scenarios before they reach real users.
Hey 👋
I’m Hritvik, the founder of Archimyst. We built this because we kept seeing great system designs fail in production not because the idea was wrong, but because the architecture was never truly tested under real world load, failures, and cost constraints.
Archimyst turns a simple prompt into a living, testable backend architecture. You can simulate traffic spikes, outages, scaling limits, and cloud costs before writing a single line of production code.
We’re early and actively building with the community, so I’d love your feedback — especially from engineers, founders, and SREs. What’s the one architecture problem you wish you could safely test before shipping?
Congrats on the launch. Curious — how do you handle unpredictable behavior in AI‑driven components of the system? That’s where I see most real‑world failures.
Hi Archimyst! I checked out your product after seeing it in the Top 5 yesterday — the idea of an AI-powered platform for designing system architecture is interesting.
As a new user, I noticed a few UX issues that could impact first impressions and usability, especially on mobile (some elements don’t display correctly and the interface feels very dense on smaller screens).
I’ve got a couple of specific UX observations that might help improve clarity and retention. Happy to share if that’s useful — no pressure at all.
This is interesting. Simulating cost, performance, and failure before shipping is something most teams skip until it hurts. Curious how deep the validation goes. Congrats on the launch. 🚀
Builder-focused
The focus on testing before building stands out. My workflow improves when risks are surfaced early rather than after deployment.
I wanted to ask how customizable the assumptions are. My system often have unique constraints that default models might miss.
This reminded me of architecture interviews versus reality. My experience is that production systems behave very differently under pressure
My past projects suffered because cost modeling came too late. Having visibility early would have helped me argue for better design choices.
The concept is strong but I do wonder about trust. My hesitation would be relying on simulations that might oversimplify real world behavior.
I am curious how detailed the simulations go. My concern is whether edge cases like partial outages are represented realistically.
Happy to see this launch today. Building tools that help teams avoid painful outages is important work. I hpe this reaches engineers who have been burned before.
This looks promising overall. I feel showing a full example from idea to validated architecture could help people like me understand the depth better.
Static diagrams are fine, but validating cost and performance within the design tool itself solves a massive pain point for backend teams. How does Archimyst handle existing infrastructure—can we import current cloud setups to simulate changes?
Got burned when load testing came too late in a project. Archimyst letting you simulate traffic spikes and outages before code gets written is the right sequence. Exporting those constraints as acceptance criteria for the implementation team would close the loop.
That's so cool! Does it support exporting design to IaC like Terraform or Cloudformation?
Turning a prompt into a testable backend architecture in minutes, that’s wild. Congrats on the launch, Hritvik! Are there any templates for simple web apps to get started?
