Description

Hi HN. My name is Andrey. On a regular business day, I'm a software engineer working at AWS. Outside of work hours, I spend time on my hobby - writing code.I was once building a pet project that allowed customers to spin up fully synchronized blockchain nodes within just a few minutes. The backend was split into a control plane and a data plane, each with its own AWS account. Later I added two more AWS accounts. One for shared RPC nodes. One for the Analytics Service.Since I love to visualize things, I used drawio to visualize the architecture.With time, I noticed a pattern. I'd write some code, add a few lambda functions, update my drawio diagram, write more code, introduce a few more resources, test things, see that everything works fine and go to sleep with a smile on my face. Next week I'd check my diagram, and shockingly, it's missing some of the resources! This kept happening for a few more weeks until I decided to fully abandon the project until my infrastructure diagrams could stay in sync with my cloud account.That's how Atlasphere.io was born. I've been working on it for the past 6 months and I think the product is ready for some feedback :)A few notes:- Atlasphere uses a ReadOnly IAM role to scan your AWS account (my account reaches your account through a trust relationship).- The number of services is currently limited (WIP)- It's a macOS app- It's NOT an Electron app, i use Rust + WebviewWhat am I looking for? All I really need is for someone to try the app and tell me what they like about it and what they absolutely hate about it, haha!The website is https://atlasphere.io/

Could you build this?

Yes Querying cloud provider APIs (like AWS SDK / DescribeInstances / DescribeVpcs) and rendering live topological diagrams using graph visualization libraries is a well-established pattern achievable with vibe coding.

Discussion

17 comments analyzed.

Competitors mentioned: Cartography - creates graph of Cloud resources, Claude Code - can generate diagrams natively, diagrams library - commonly used by competing tools

Concerns raised: Cross-account access security risk - prefer local/self-hosted data gathering, ReadOnly IAM role too broad - needs granular permissions documentation, Competing tools implode on complex architectures (VPC peering, security groups, multi-account), Pricing unclear on website - shown only after app download/signup (dark pattern), Diagrams library outdated and unmaintained upstream

Feature requests: Generate custom minimal IAM policies per service instead of using broad ReadOnly, Better handling of complex architectures and primitives (routing, policies, VPC peering), Capability to run locally to gather and filter data before sending

Same idea, different domain

Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
