First of all, thanks for your work on D2, it is the coolest of them all IMHO. I would definitely use animations because management loves shiny things and if they are happy I get my salary bumped.
I have recently made a solution for dynamically codifying the network layout of AWS accounts with D2. D2 was the only solution that was allowing to render a lot of objects without having to fight the engine with tons of hints. My only complaint was/is that the sdk/d2lib was very under-documented, so initially I started off with generating text as a map before realizing that there is a better way that is barely used. It took me some time to figure out how to use the lib for the trickier parts.
- mrkstu 11mo agoWould love to see that shared in github/lab if you’re allowed.
- aduwah 11mo agoI would share it, but BigCorp would come after me. It is nothing terribly smart really. I am using steampipe to list all the regions for VPC/Subnets/NAT GW/IGW/[everything else networky] and loop through the list adding nodes to the diagram. There is a long list of accounts which all gets generated and committed in a git repo. The big challenge was to make it all readable instead of making a mess.
