aws-arch-drawio-plugin is a plugin marketplace that generates official-icon AWS Draw.io architecture diagrams from IaC code.
About
The aws-arch-drawio-plugin marketplace ships one plugin that bridges infrastructure-as-code and visual architecture docs. Developers and small teams on AWS often sketch diagrams in slides while the source of truth lives in Terraform or CDK; this tool scans those definitions, infers how services connect, and lays them out in Draw.io with the standard AWS icon set. That matters when you are pitching a design, onboarding a contractor, or preparing a security review without maintaining a second manual diagram. Complexity is intermediate because you need readable IaC in the repo and comfort with Draw.io exports. It is a visualization companion, not a deploy or validate pipeline—use it when the diagram should match what you actually committed.
- Parses CloudFormation, CDK, Terraform, and SAM to infer services and relationships
- Renders Draw.io diagrams with mxgraph.aws4.* official AWS icons and tier-based layout
- Layer management for readable multi-tier architectures
- Enterprise-style output with PNG and SVG export paths
- Tagged for aws, architecture, drawio, infrastructure, and diagram workflows
