Snowflake vs AWS architecture diagrams
An AWS architecture diagram is about services and boundaries. The containers carry the meaning: region, VPC, availability zone, subnet tier, and then the services placed inside them in the order a request travels, with the load balancer at the VPC level and the data stores in the private tier. The reviewer's questions are about network paths and isolation, so that is what the drawing has to make visible.
A Snowflake architecture diagram is about layers, not networks. Stages and ingestion on one side, virtual warehouses as the compute in the middle, databases and schemas as the storage they read, and shares or BI tools on the way out. The cloud provider under Snowflake is one container at most, because Snowflake hides it on purpose. Drawing a Snowflake platform like an AWS account, with subnets and security groups, produces a picture that answers questions nobody asks.
The generator draws each with its own icon set and its own shape: describe an AWS stack and it lays out the VPC; describe a Snowflake platform and it lays out the layers. When a system is both, an AWS data lake feeding Snowflake, say so in the prompt and the two halves are drawn as two zones with the load between them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about aws architecture diagram generator
What AWS services can I diagram with this tool?▼
We support 200+ AWS services including Compute (EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda), Storage (S3, EBS, EFS), Database (RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora, Redshift), Networking (VPC, ALB, NLB, CloudFront, Route 53), Analytics (Glue, Athena, EMR, Kinesis), and all major AWS services across categories.
Does the AI follow AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices?▼
Yes! Our AI is trained on AWS architectural patterns and automatically suggests high availability (Multi-AZ), security (VPCs, security groups), scalability (auto-scaling, load balancing), and cost optimization patterns. It helps you design production-ready AWS architectures.
Can I show VPC networking and security groups?▼
Absolutely! Visualize VPCs with public and private subnets, route tables, NAT gateways, internet gateways, security groups, NACLs, and VPC peering. Show how resources are isolated and how traffic flows through your AWS network.
How do I diagram serverless architectures on AWS?▼
Create diagrams showing API Gateway triggering Lambda functions, Lambda accessing DynamoDB, S3 event notifications, Step Functions orchestration, EventBridge routing, and SQS/SNS messaging. Perfect for visualizing event-driven serverless applications.
Can I export AWS diagrams for AWS documentation?▼
Yes! Export as PNG/JPEG for AWS documentation, architecture review documents, or CloudFormation/Terraform PRs. Export as JSON to version control your infrastructure diagrams alongside your IaC code, enabling architecture as code practices.
Can Claude Code or Cursor draw my AWS architecture diagram for me?▼
Yes. Datadef ships an MCP server, so agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT can create and update AWS diagrams directly from your repository. Point the agent at your Terraform or CDK code and it drafts the architecture diagram with the right AWS icons, then keeps it updated as the infrastructure changes.
Can I embed an AWS diagram in my README or wiki so it stays current?▼
Yes. Every diagram has a permanent embed link that works in GitHub READMEs, Notion, and Confluence without authentication. When you or your agent update the diagram, every embed shows the new version automatically, so your AWS documentation never drifts out of date.
