About:
AWS Diagram as Code (awsdac) is a CLI tool that generates AWS architecture diagrams using a text-based definition language. It allows developers to define infrastructure visually as code, which can be version-controlled and easily updated. This streamlines the documentation process and ensures diagrams stay synchronized with actual architecture.
Key Features:
  • Text-based diagram definition (YAML/JSON)
  • Support for 200+ AWS service icons
  • Generates SVG, PNG, and HTML output
  • CLI-driven automation workflow
  • Version control friendly architecture
Use Cases:
  • Generating up-to-date architecture diagrams for documentation
  • Automating diagram creation in CI/CD pipelines
  • Visualizing infrastructure changes during code reviews
  • Creating diagrams for presentations and technical proposals
Alternatives:
  • Cloudcraft – Cloudcraft offers a visual editor, while awsdac is code-first and CLI-based
  • draw.io / diagrams.net – Manual drag-and-drop interface vs. awsdac's automated code-driven approach
  • CloudFormation Designer – Tied to CloudFormation templates, awsdac is service-agnostic and more flexible
