Canvas & UI overview
The canvas is where you compose cloud architectures: nodes (services or annotations), edges (dependencies and flows), and side panels for simulation, deploy, AI, and configuration.
Core concepts
| Concept | What it means |
|---|---|
| Palette | Left rail: search and drag AWS, Azure, or GCP services (and account-specific behavior is tied to your workspace). |
| Node | A service instance or an annotation (text or group frame). Service nodes open Node configuration when selected. |
| Edge | A connection from one node’s output handle to another’s input; drives simulation ordering and AI context. |
| Provider | The active cloud family for new palette items; your project/workspace may lock or switch provider. |
Where to go next
- Tools & toolbar — pan, export, theme, auto-organize, text, group frames, help.
- AI Architect chat — natural language architecture generation and diagram upload.
- Node configuration — sections, fields, quick actions, infrastructure placement.
