What's new in Archway. Every feature, fix, and improvement.
Repo → C4 diagram: paste a GitHub URL on the scan page, pick "C4 Container", and get a multi-system C4 diagram of the codebase in seconds
Schema → ERD (deterministic, no AI cost): scan a repo containing a schema.prisma, Drizzle schema (db/schema.ts), or SQL DDL file and click "Database ERD" and a parser converts the schema directly into an Entity Relationship Diagram in under a second
Model-aware entity swap: right-click any service node on a cloud-arch diagram and pick a swap target (e.g. AWS RDS → Aurora, → Azure SQL, → GCP Cloud SQL). The underlying architecture model and the rendered diagram update together
/scan picker: choose between three output formats: Cloud Architecture (services + zones), C4 Container (system boundaries), or Database ERD (when a schema file is detected)
Canonical architecture model is now persisted alongside the diagram so future model-aware features (alternate-view derivation, what-if exploration) have something to read from
C4 generation prompt tightened: external systems require evidence in the input rather than being filled in from a generic checklist; placeholder dashed boxes ("Email Service", "Payment Gateway") with no relationships are no longer emitted
C4 system boundary correctly encompasses every container in multi-row layouts (was: large diagrams had containers spilling visually outside the dashed system box)
Signup form bounds the submit fetch with a 30-second timeout and surfaces a "taking longer than expected" message instead of hanging indefinitely on a slow database connection
Quota-exceeded errors render a clickable "Upgrade" link to billing settings instead of a dead-end toast
