cdk-appsync-project VS cfn-diagram

Using projen to deploy AWS AppSync with AWS CDK Ken Winner shares a very brief post on how you can use projen, a tool I mentioned a few issues ago from Elad Ben-Israel, to scaffold out everything you need when setting up your projects. In this case Ken has created cdk-appsync-project to demonstrate how you would do this for a sample AWS AppSync application integrated with AWS Cognito. As Ken points out, projen helps you address some of the things that AWS CDK does not. This is a two minute read, so head over and check this out.

What do you think, is it worth writing a patch for cfn-diagrams to create these links automatically?

cfn-diagram how many times have you wished you could take your CloudFormation YAML or JSON and then visualise it? When this open source tool provides a CLI as well as integration into tools like VSCode that help visualise CloudFormation templates as draw.io diagrams. Very nice Lars Jacobsson and the MatHem tech team. There is also the experimental cfn-diagram-ci which you can have a look at as well.
