Blueprintr is diagram-first architecture documentation: draw your system, click any shape to write the detail behind it, and share one live link that stays true. Continuum connects that diagram to the systems you run. It comes in three flavours. Continuum Cloud draws your AWS accounts and Azure subscriptions. Continuum Local is an agent inside your own network that sweeps it so Blueprintr can draw it, and reaches your on-premise systems. Continuum Link attaches dated snapshots from monitoring, on-call and ITSM tools to your shapes.

A stratum is the layered detail behind a shape. Click any node (a service, a step, a region) and the stratum opens with its owner, runbook, code links, and prose. Closing it returns you to the diagram.

How is this different from Confluence or Notion?

Wikis put the prose first and the diagram in a screenshot. Blueprintr inverts that: the diagram is the navigation, and the prose is what's behind each shape.

How is this different from Figjam or Miro?

Whiteboards are unbounded canvases optimised for capture during a workshop. Blueprintr trades that freedom for composition: bounded, ordered, and built to be read after the workshop. See Blueprintr vs Miro and Blueprintr vs FigJam.

How does Blueprintr compare with Eraser, Lucidchart or Cloudcraft?

There is a page for each: Blueprintr vs Eraser, Blueprintr vs Lucidchart and Blueprintr vs Cloudcraft, with thirteen more on the comparisons index. Each carries the vendor's own pricing, the date it was checked, and a plain statement of where the other tool is the better choice.

Can I import existing diagrams?

Yes. draw.io files, Word, PowerPoint, PDF and Markdown documents, and images of whiteboards or screenshots all import, and Confluence, Notion and SharePoint pages come across through a read-only connection. Imported drawings become shapes you can attach strata to.

Is there a self-hosted option?

Yes. Blueprintr runs three ways: SaaS shared, the service you sign up for here; SaaS dedicated, an instance we run for your organisation alone; and self-hosted, on your own servers, including networks with no internet access. Compare the three. For the two SaaS models, the privacy policy sets out where your content and account data are stored and who else processes it. On SaaS shared, the part that runs in your own network is Continuum Local, an Enterprise agent that sweeps the address ranges you allow over SNMP so Blueprintr can draw your network, and lets Continuum Link reach on-premise systems such as SolarWinds, Zabbix or NetBox. It connects out to Blueprintr, so no inbound firewall rule is needed.

Blueprintr's AI drafts a diagram from a description, turns a document you already wrote into a canvas, and writes the detail behind a shape. AI Draw adds to the canvas, and ⌘Z undoes it. AI Assist proposes each edit for you to confirm. AI features are opt-in; your content is never used to train models.

Blueprintr: diagram-first architecture documentation

Stop drawing what you think is running.

Continuum connects your diagrams to the systems that already know the truth. Continuum Cloud draws what runs in AWS and Azure. Continuum Local draws your on-premise network. Continuum Link attaches timestamped snapshots from your tools to your shapes.

Continuum Cloud

Team

Connect AWS or Azure read-only. Continuum scans the scope you choose and draws what is there, directly on a Vellum canvas you can annotate, link and publish.

AWS and Azure. One read-only cross-account role, or an app registration with Reader. Nothing Continuum holds can change your infrastructure.
Scoped how you like. Pick the accounts or subscriptions and the regions, then narrow by VPC, subnet or resource group.
Terraform-aware. Point an AWS connection at your Terraform remote state and drift between what you declared and what is running shows up on the diagram.
Re-scan on demand. A sync keeps your layout and reports what was added, changed and missing since the last scan.

See what Continuum Cloud connects to

Continuum Local

Enterprise

Run the agent inside your network, on Linux, Windows Server, Docker or Kubernetes. It sweeps the address ranges you allow over SNMP, and Blueprintr draws what it finds as a blueprint you can annotate, link and publish.

Your network, drawn. Routers, firewalls and switches by role, the LLDP and CDP links between them, and a stratum for each device.
A Routing view, like Continuum Cloud's. BGP sessions with their AS numbers, iBGP or eBGP and EVPN, and OSPF and IS-IS adjacencies, on the same canvas.
Outbound only. The agent connects out over HTTPS on port 443, and your device credentials stay on it.
On-premise systems, for Link. SolarWinds, Zabbix, NetBox and the rest of Link's on-premise connectors answer through the agent.

See how Continuum Local works

Continuum Link

Enterprise

Point a shape at the system it represents. Search once; Continuum fans out across every system you’ve connected and saves the match as a timestamped tab on that shape’s stratum.

39 connectors, one search. Alerting and on-call, observability, monitoring, uptime, ITSM, IPAM, backup and source control, queried together. On-premise systems answer through Continuum Local.
Dated, not pasted. Each tab is a saved snapshot that shows when it was taken, and an editor refreshes it with one click.
No second copy of your secrets. CloudWatch uses the read-only role you already gave Continuum Cloud.
