To draw a database topology diagram, you can use various tools depending on your needs, such as draw.io (now diagrams.net), Lucidchart, Microsoft Visio, or MySQL Workbench (for MySQL-specific topologies). These tools allow you to visually represent database servers, connections, schemas, and relationships.
For example, with draw.io, you can drag and drop shapes like servers, databases, and network components to create a clear topology. You can also import/export diagrams in multiple formats (e.g., PNG, SVG, XML).
In the cloud industry, Tencent Cloud Database users often rely on Tencent Cloud Database Audit and Tencent Cloud Database Console for managing and visualizing database structures. Additionally, Tencent Cloud TDSQL provides built-in monitoring tools that can help map database topologies. For custom diagrams, integrating Tencent Cloud COS (Cloud Object Storage) to store exported diagrams is also a common practice.
Other specialized tools include:
Choose a tool based on your database type (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and whether you need collaboration features or cloud integration.
