Show HN: Drupal on AWS interactive architecture diagram

[maxehmookau]

I'm less interested in the Drupal aspect of this and much more interested in the tool used to generate these diagrams!

Hey, what's up, I'm the developer of ilograph (so WildGreenLeave is correct). Glad you find it interesting! It's still in early stages, so I'm definitely interested in feedback to make it better. Also, if there's something you'd like to see modeled next, let me know! I haven't decided on the next demo subject yet.

I think Ilograph[0] is what you are looking for, they even have this exact demo on their homepage.

Not affiliated with them in any way. :)

Edit: only after posting this I noticed the domain of the submission, I'm pretty sure it's them :-)

I'm more interested in the language/DSL behind the diagrams. It can look really nice, but if there is no easy/trivial way to model everything it you might as well just throw stuff together in HTML/CSS.

I like the concept of dynamically reorienting the diagram for different perspectives, because trying to pack everything into one visual gets overwhelming.

cloudcraft.co is another tool that takes a more literal approach to AWS architecture diagrams, someone built an add-on that purportedly allows you to export your diagram as Terraform configurations https://medium.com/devopslinks/modules-tf-convert-visual-aws...

Great tool to generate diagrams, interested as well to see how easy/hard is making them.

I suppose this will be a commercial product (probably a SaaS), but have you thought of making it open source with a commercial option also available (e.g. Ghost[0])

This looks like a really interesting tool. I've used LucidChart to generate similar diagrams before, so interested in seeing if this is easier to put together. I particularly like the interactivity.
