Next Steps

  • Use views & filter expressions to create more specific diagrams that focus on the AWS resources you are most interested in. This will help you to create more relevant visualizations of your infrastructure. See more details in the Use Views & Filter Expressions section.
  • Automatically monitor infrastructure changes. Enable automated tracking for your diagrams, and whenever a change is detected, we will automatically update the diagram with a new version and notify your team (ex. Slack or Teams channels) of the top changes. See more details in the Automatically Track Infrastructure Changes section.
  • View history of your infrastructure changes. See how your infrastructure looked last week, last month, or any point in the past with our automated monitoring and version history. Quickly identify what’s been added, modified, or deleted with clear, color-coded highlights, making it easier to troubleshoot issues, investigate unexpected cost changes, or recover from errors. See more details in the Version History section.
  • Export diagrams. Export your diagrams in PNG, SVG, PDF, JSON and Draw.io / Diagrams.net formats. See more details in the Export Diagrams section.
  • Integrate with our API. Use our API to automate diagram generation, integrate with your CI/CD pipeline, or automatically update your Confluence documentation. See more details in the API Docs section.
