Very interesting! Looks like it took a lot of work.
Since you are soliciting suggestions, I would suggest focusing on the core theme and simplifying or removing things that are not directly related to the subject.
For example, some peripheral mentions of argocd/helm/kustomize/cilium/opentofu/etc. There are boxes for these with arrows, but nothing showing how these are tied into security. They're also specific products that not everyone uses so can be further irrelevant to your audience.
But by including them it makes the diagram perhaps unnecessarily busy, and while it looks cool, it could be less useful to your audience if it's harder to parse. Maybe certain things could be broken out into sub-diagrams with their own treatment.
For example, ArgoCD has its own security architecture not directly related to k8s.
Thanks for the suggestions :) I'll look into how I can tune those down a little. They are however needed to understand the "platform picture" I am trying to get through in some discussions
Mermaid is great for simple stuff. If you want a more advanced approach where you can even have multiple levels. Lool at c4. The best way to do c4 without paying a dime I think is https://likec4.dev/
But again, for simple stuff, mermaid! It's also natively supported in a lot of markdown renderers, like gitlab
Indeed they do. It works but it is not great. I tried it for a couple of projects but eventually switched away from it because the layout renderer is pretty bad at this time and the results are not aesthetically pleasing at all, at times being difficult to read because the layout algorithm is so bad.
There's also PlantUML (lots of ads on the page, unfortunately) with support for all sorts of diagram types, and it's extensible. Swimlane, UML, sequence and about 20 more.
LikeC4 looks really cool. I spent a little time with the documentation and it seems like it requires that it runs its own server to render the diagram. In other words no export to html or svg. Do you know if that's the case?
Looked very interesting untill I saw the monthly subscription. Does not make sense.. What would make sense in my head is a full demo for a week. Then $100-200 onetime for a personal pro..
I really hope this project surfaces in my feed in a couple of weeks with a more sane model
I think many people in here are.. If it works well with Norwegian, is actually useful, can be used on both my personal computers, sure.. I think it would be worth this.
Why not think about it and make it a real plan for those who want it. Based on the comments, it seams like a blocker for many people.
