Top use cases
Save the prompts you reuse and regenerate diagrams every time your stack changes.
Map ingestion via Kinesis, MSK, or DMS with SLAs
Diagram storage tiers (S3) with lifecycle and encryption
Show processing via Glue, EMR, Lambda, or Redshift
Highlight governance: Lake Formation, IAM, CloudWatch
Workflow that ships
List AWS services per stage and note regions and accounts.
Request AI to group landing, processing, serving, and governance layers.
Label edges with cadence, cost-sensitive flows, and encryption.
Export and attach to Well-Architected reviews and wikis.
Prompt recipes
Copy, tweak, and save in your repo so regenerations stay consistent.
"Diagram an AWS data platform with Kinesis ingest, S3 data lake, Glue ETL, Redshift serving, and QuickSight. Add governance."
"Show batch + streaming with MSK, S3, EMR/Spark, and Athena/Redshift. Include Lake Formation permissions."
"Create a cost-aware view with lifecycle rules, encryption, and CloudWatch alerts."
Quality checklist
IAM roles and Lake Formation policies are visible.
Lifecycle and encryption are marked on S3 buckets.
Cross-account sharing and data mesh domains are labeled.
Monitoring paths (CloudWatch/SNS) are included.
Why use Datadef
Prompt-to-canvas in seconds
Generate React Flow diagrams from prompts, then tweak nodes, metadata, and z-index with live collaboration.
Always in sync
Save prompts alongside canvas versions so you can regenerate diagrams as schemas, services, or policies change.
Shareable and auditable
Export PNG/SVG for decks, or share live canvases with lineage, SLAs, and runbook links for reviewers.
Built for data teams
Support data mesh, lakehouse, and streaming patterns with typed nodes for tables, pipelines, services, and governance layers.

FAQ
How do I avoid AWS icon overload?
Use text labels for services and add icons sparingly. Prioritize clarity over full icon sets.
Can AI suggest Well-Architected gaps?
If you add requirements, AI can flag missing guardrails like encryption, backups, or cross-region replication.
Do I include account boundaries?
Yes. Show shared services vs workload accounts to clarify ownership and blast radius.
