Solarch

Description

Solarch is a backend-architecture tool that allows users to visually design their systems as node/edge graphs. This innovative approach enables the drawing of various components such as controllers, services, repositories, tables, DTOs, and queues. A strict Rules Engine validates every connection as it is drawn, ensuring that the architecture adheres to established patterns and practices. Once the graph is validated, Solarch generates code that matches the architecture precisely, eliminating any risk of architectural drift between the diagram and the codebase.

Unlike traditional AI coding tools that generate code first and hope the architecture holds up, Solarch flips this process. It emphasizes generating the architecture first, grounded in canonical patterns and validated by a default-deny Rules Engine. This means that the AI proposes connections, the rules verify them, and only correct graphs are transformed into code. The Rules Engine enforces strict guidelines, rejecting illegal connections immediately, which helps maintain the integrity of the architecture.

Solarch employs a hybrid engine for code generation. A deterministic compiler creates a skeleton of the code with zero tokens, including DTOs, entities, and constructor injection directly from the edges of the graph. Subsequently, a surgical AI fills in the empty function bodies. Users can export the results as code, a Mermaid diagram, or AI-readable memory. Solarch offers various pricing plans, starting at $5 per month for the drawing tool, with additional features available at higher tiers. Each plan includes a 7-day trial, allowing users to explore the tool's capabilities before committing.

Solarch is designed for developers who want to streamline their backend architecture process. It provides a single canvas for the entire system, ensuring that all components are interconnected and validated. With features like live drift detection, a revision timeline, and integration with popular development tools, Solarch enhances the developer experience by providing a clear and structured approach to backend design.
