title: is there anyway i can auto generate architecture diagrams from a table of data
body: <p>i have a list of applications, services and databases in a text file.  the list includes which applications are consumers of which services and which services use which databases.  I would like to know if there is a tool that can take this data and generate an architecture diagram. i would like to output to be dynamic so when the text file is updated the diagram automatically updates</p>
  
  <p>something similar to this tool (which doesn't seem available for the web)</p>
