Is it possible to describe in data an architecture composed of bits of related software running on servers and dependent on NFS mounts, directories, databases, etc?
Ideally the whole suite of lucid objects are available by virtue of some type io identifiers and relationships can be expressed as containment or annotated connecting lines

Hi ​@jlfitzgenecom 

Of course, Lucidchart, supports data-driven architecture diagrams where servers, software components, NFS mounts, and databases can be defined in spreadsheets (CSV or Google Sheets) and linked to shapes using unique IDs and properties, with relationships primarily expressed visually through containers and annotated connectors rather than fully auto-generated from data.
