This is cool but it is way to expensive and the free version is not that useful.
Tried it on the github.com/pulumi/pulumi codebase and I get 5 blocks and that's it. Seems nice but I'm not going to pay 20 bucks a month to view one layer deeper.
Appreciate the honest feedback! We're working hard to improve CodeViz, please let me know if there are any features you'd love to see.
I cloned pulumi and exported both layers of the CodeViz diagrams into mermaid format: https://github.com/EdisonLabs-Inc/Pulumi-Diagrams/tree/main. I'm not familiar with the repo so let me know if anything looks off. Hope you find these useful!
Thanks, that is really cool, especially when ramping up on a code base. The labeling is mostly pretty good (though I'd not call some stuff "backend" but who can blame it for not knowing). I still think it might be too expensive as is but if I were using this to generate mermaids for everyone in my company a one time fee of 20 might be justified (you often dont need this continuously)
