Currently https://github.com/mingrammer/diagrams tool is being used for diagrams, which is a free, easy to use and extensive library. Although, during development of the cloudiscovery, we face the following issues with it:

  1. Security Groups, VPCs and other resources cannot be represented as areas, making diagrams more complex because of a need of edges to represent relations between resources (instead of just a placement of a resource in a designated area). Related issue: Add Security Groups for AWS mingrammer/diagrams#162
  2. Usage of graphviz engine - although it is good for scientific documents, its UX is disputable. The project tweaks this engine (see Allow using different graphviz engines mingrammer/diagrams#193) but the visualizations are worse in quality than commercial tools.\

The task is to think about ways to have good diagrams.

The best option will be to generate diagrams.net compatible diagram files. It'll allow better interoperability and enable users to work on the generated diagrams.
