Introduction

Flowee is a command-line tool that helps you visualize CloudFormation templates as React Flow diagrams. This allows you to quickly understand the structure, dependencies, and potential issues within your templates.

Here's how it works:​

  • Send your CloudFormation template: Use the flowee generate-diagram command followed by the path to your template file (e.g., flowee generate-diagram --cf template.json).

  • Visualization magic: Flowee processes the template and generates a React Flow diagram that clearly represents the resources and their connections.

  • Explore your diagram: The diagram opens in your web browser, allowing you to navigate and inspect the different components of your CloudFormation template.

Benefits of using Flowee:​

  • Improved understanding: Visualizing your CloudFormation templates makes them easier to grasp, especially for complex configurations.
  • Early issue detection: Identify potential errors or inefficiencies within your templates before deployment.
  • Enhanced collaboration: Share the generated diagrams with your team for better communication and collaboration.
