CLI tool to visualise CloudFormation/SAM/CDK templates as diagrams.

Notes

• good starting point. generate draw.io to get all resources and icons, then modify from there.
• allows for filtering by resource types to eliminate resources that may not be needed.
• works by importing cfn template into CDK. CDK allows to treat as graph for traversal and inspection
