  • modules.tf-lambda

    Infrastructure as code generator - from visual diagrams created with Cloudcraft.co to Terraform

    • Since this is asked in /r/devops, I'm guessing you are referring to this product when you say "Cloudcraft".

  • c4-notation

    Technical resources for using the C4 model for visualizing software architecture.

    • In my experience, most people will hand-create their models. There are both graphical tools (like Microsoft's Visio, draw.io / diagrams.net) or textual tools (like PlantUML or mermaid). People will use these diagrams to create diagrams at the notes or sketch level of detail. I've had good luck using the C4 modeling notation, and then dropping into UML for the lowest level of detail for the most critical or complex parts of the system in a few cases.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
