FlowFrame
Build, configure, and visually understand distributed system
Most system design resources show architectures as static diagrams. I wanted to build something where you can actually create an architecture, configure it, run it, and understand what happens inside the system. FlowFrame is an interactive system design simulator and learning environment built around that idea.

I wanted to build something where you can actually create an architecture, configure it, run it, and understand what happens inside the system.
FlowFrame is an interactive system design simulator and learning environment built around that idea.
With FlowFrame, you can:
Create workspaces and multiple system diagrams
Build architectures using an interactive canvas
Configure components and their behavior
Define architectures using the FlowFrame DSL
Learn the DSL through its syntax and rules
Run REST API requests through your architecture
Play, pause, and step through simulations
Visualize request and packet flows
Run multiple requests simultaneously
Inspect system events, cache hits, database operations, routing, and queues
Explore Load Balancers, API Gateways, Servers, Redis, PostgreSQL, Connection Pools, Message Queues, Pub/Sub, Workers, and more
Experiment with FIFO, LIFO, and Priority queue processing
Explore caching, load balancing, database pooling, microservices, monoliths, and event-driven architectures
Work through guided system-design scenarios with validation
Learn distributed-system concepts through a searchable glossary
Import and export architectures
Save and share system designs
Use the Demo Sandbox without signing in
The goal is simple:
Instead of only looking at a system design diagram, build it, run it, and see how it behaves.
FlowFrame focuses on making the logical behavior of distributed systems easier to understand through experimentation and visualization.
I'm still building and expanding it, so I'd love to know:
What distributed-system concept, architecture, or failure scenario should I add next?
