Ask HN: Would you use an architecture diagram tool to save infra costs?

I think it's a good idea. We don't update our diagrams as much as we should, so new joiners struggle to get their heads around what's happening.

But it'll be very hard to get it past our architect. Maybe if it's open source so we can test and prove the value before using a 3rd party.

Curious, why would your architect not approve of it? We are thinking of a freemium model to start with.

We're exposing our AWS infrastructure to a rando startup. There's more to purchasing than just the price.

Well, fair. Without an open source solution or on prem deployment, lot of companies will be hesistant to use such a tool. Thank you for this input.
