My main use case for Lucidchart is designing HLD and LLD diagrams. Recently, I created an automation service using Lucidchart to create the HLD and LLD so I could present it to the stakeholders and for the team's understanding. I used Lucidchart to create the HLD and LLD so that users can see and know the architecture of that automation.
