The Importance of Infrastructure Diagrams in Architecture

In the world of cloud computing and complex distributed systems, creating infrastructure diagrams is vital for understanding, designing, and communicating the architecture of our applications. These diagrams serve as visual blueprints that help teams grasp the layout, connections, and workflows within their systems. They also play a crucial role in documentation, troubleshooting, and scaling operations. 

This article explores the importance of infrastructure diagrams, introduces the multicloud-diagrams framework, and explains the concept of Diagrams as Code. We will use AWS cloud nodes and services, but on-prem nodes are also available for usage.
