Diagrams from a prompt or your code vs live diagrams of deployed infrastructure
Try it on more than one cloud
Cloudcraft draws the infrastructure you have already deployed. Describe one that spans AWS, Azure and GCP and Datadef draws it before anything exists, on one editable canvas, each provider with its own vendor icons.
No account needed · Editable canvas, not a picture
Cloudcraft excels at live 3D diagrams of deployed infrastructure: AWS and Azure in the standalone app, and AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud and vSphere inside Datadog, where it is free and overlays monitoring, cost and security data. Datadef offers AI generation from a prompt or Terraform, data-tool icons, data lineage, and documentation, with no access to your cloud accounts, better for data engineering teams designing what is not deployed yet.
Looking to switch rather than compare? See the Cloudcraft alternative page, with a live prompter to try the difference →
