Could you build this?
Partial Building a canvas-based drag-and-drop cloud architecture diagram tool with LLM integration is vibe-codeable, but bi-directional synchronization with Terraform/CloudFormation code and multi-cloud cost models requires complex schema compilation engines.
What it would actually take: A full version requires a graph execution engine that maps visual cloud components directly to abstract syntax trees (ASTs) of infrastructure-as-code languages like OpenTofu/Terraform or AWS CDK. It requires integrating cloud provider APIs across AWS, Azure, and GCP for live resource syncing, parsing pricing APIs (like AWS Price List API) for real-time cost estimation, and managing state synchronization via a resilient backend.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
