Problem to solve
Render PlantUML diagrams in a "preview" similar to how markdowns can be previewed. When I review merge requests that contain PlantUML diagrams, it's tedius to have to copy-paste and render the diagram myself to view it.
Intended users
All personas could benefit from this feature if they use PlantUML.
- Parker (Product Manager)
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Presley (Product Designer)
- Devon (DevOps Engineer)
- Sidney (Systems Administrator)
- Sam (Security Analyst)
- Dana (Data Analyst)
Further details
We manage and propose workflows, architectures, and processes using PlantUML diagrams. The benefit of previewing these in a merge request is to reduce the time it takes to perform the reviews.

Testing
Rendering PlantUML diagrams requires CPU and memory use that could be challenging at scale.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
When I am viewing a PlantUML file, I can quickly see the rendered version of it.
What is the type of buyer?
We are an enterprise.
