Creator tips
• Start with broad structures like VPCs and subnets before adding components such as EC2 or Lambda
• Keep your diagrams abstract enough to avoid brittle details like instance IDs or IPs
• Align all icons and avoid overlapping lines for better readability
• Use layers or grouping to make complex diagrams more manageable
• Share early drafts with stakeholders to gather feedback, then refine
