Data Analytics Diagram Generator

Quick Start: Define data sources → Declare ingestion/ETL icons → Connect to storage/warehouse → Add BI/visualization → Wrap in

```plantuml

fence.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use
```plantuml
or
```puml
code fence. NEVER use
```text
— it will NOT render as a diagram.

Critical Rules

Every diagram starts with
```
@startuml
```
and ends with
```
@enduml
```
Use
```
left to right direction
```
for data pipelines (Source → Ingest → Transform → Store → Visualize)
Use
```
mxgraph.aws4.*
```
stencil syntax for analytics, database, and storage icons
Default colors are applied automatically — you do NOT need to specify
```
fillColor
```
or
```
strokeColor
```

Use

rectangle "Zone" { ... }

package "Layer" { ... }

for grouping pipeline stages

Directed flows use
```
-->
```
, async/streaming flows use
```
..>
```
(dashed)

Full stencil reference: See stencils/README.md for 9500+ available icons.

Connection Types

Syntax	Meaning	Use Case
`A --> B`	Solid arrow	Batch data flow / API call
`A ..> B`	Dashed arrow	Streaming / async / CDC
`A -- B`	Solid line	Bidirectional sync
`A --> B : "label"`	Labeled connection	Describe data format or volume

Quick Example

plantuml

@startuml
left to right direction
mxgraph.aws4.s3 "Data Lake\n(S3)" as s3
mxgraph.aws4.glue "Glue\nETL" as glue
mxgraph.aws4.redshift "Redshift" as rs
mxgraph.aws4.quicksight "QuickSight" as qs

s3 --> glue
glue --> rs
rs --> qs
