Manual cloud diagrams get outdated the second you save them, and SaaS visualizers often demand access to your sensitive .tfstate files. As a platform engineer tired of tracing infrastructure dependencies by hand, I built TerraViz—a single-binary, open-source Go CLI. It runs entirely on your local machine to turn your Terraform state into interactive, searchable AWS architecture diagrams, with no Docker, Node.js, or external databases required.
