Going on a tangent, this is inspirational. I dont know how you can travel thru Afghanistan, and gain expertise on these subjects. And express it with this clarity of thought. Coming back, simplifying architecture will never be easy. And if

Wow. Thats some elaborate solutioning. I think the documentaion and cost attribution is pretty sorted at your shop. Does this solution help you save some costs at any point or the primary goal is only documentation?

Thank you. I'm curious, what tool did you use before to track your services based on tags, and how did it work out for you? I’m targeting startups/corporates that are over 5 years old but haven’t become large corporates. Employee

UI is quite neat. What I am trying is something similar minus complexities.

Well, fair. Without an open source solution or on prem deployment, lot of companies will be hesistant to use such a tool. Thank you for this input.

Fair to assume this is a bank or a financial institution? IMHO working with excel sheets will not justify the usage of the tool. You get the idea of what I am trying to build, if you were to do this for your org, how would you solve the pro

On point. Do you think its possible to simpify architectures for most if not all involved? If so, how?

Curious, why would your architect not approve of it? We are thinking of a freemium model to start with.

Interesting. Re 1: Wasnt planning on doing this, as creating diagrams thru tags will ensure that you have updates in real time. If you had access to such a tool, would you gives access to tag manager? Re 3: Not in first MVP, but will be doi

The diagram creation will be automated, but you'd still have to give read only access to tag editor and cost manager. Would that be a deal braker?

You'd be the primary target customer. The exisitig tools in market are way too costly and number 4 would always be risky without proper ACLs and integration with your existing deplyment framework.

The challenge lies in making architectural knowledge accessible and comprehensible to the entire team, not just a few. This tool will aim to bridge that gap by providing clear, visual representations of your deployed infrastructure, which c

Yes, they should. However, I've often seen teams lose track of all the services and components deployed. There is usually a dependency on one or two engineers, and when they leave, it introduces a significant knowledge gap in the team.

Ask HN: Would you use an architecture diagram tool to save infra costs?
