The problem

In 2022 we created EventCatalog, a tool that allows you to document your event-driven architecture. CloudCatalog is a fork of EventCatalog, that allows you to document your AWS architecture.

When documenting architectures we tend to lean to architecture diagrams, OpenAPI Specifications or custom wikis that help us document our systems but can we do more?

What if we could:

Document resources in seconds
Use Markdown to document our architecture.
Enrich our documentation with custom components
Group AWS resources in services and assign owners (users or teams) to them
Help developers understand our architecture with simple diagrams and markdown content, and more...

Say hello to CloudCatalog.

CloudCatalog is designed to help people understand, document and discover their AWS Architectures.

We can do so much more to document our Architectures.

CloudCatalog is Open Source and hopefully it can add value to your teams.

This solution

Think of CloudCatalog as a website generator that allows you to document your architectures with markdown files.

Markdown files are quite a popular tool to help us document content, so why not use markdown files to document our resources and services?

You can read more on how it works on the website
