The drawing

What an AWS diagram is.

An AWS diagram shows the AWS services in a system and the connections between them. It can make a public endpoint, compute service, data store and monitoring path visible at a glance.

The diagram is a service-level view of a design. Start with the request path and the data services, then add the AWS components that affect how the system works or is secured.

FAQ

Common questions

What is an AWS diagram?

An AWS diagram is a visual representation of AWS services and the connections between them. It helps teams discuss traffic flow, application components and data storage.

Which AWS services can I show?

Describe the services that matter to your design, such as Amazon EC2, ECS, Application Load Balancer, RDS, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, Kinesis and DynamoDB.

Can an AWS diagram show a serverless application?

Yes. Show the request entry point, such as API Gateway, then Lambda and the managed data, file and logging services it uses.

What is the difference between a three-tier and serverless AWS diagram?

A three-tier diagram separates web, application and data tiers, often using servers or containers. A serverless diagram focuses on managed request, compute and data services such as API Gateway and Lambda.
